On November 18, 2025, a substantial outage at Cloudflare, an essential internet infrastructure provider, created widespread accessibility problems across the web. The internal service degradation resulted in HTTP 500 errors, interrupting services like Cloudflare’s dashboard, API, and core network, affecting millions of users worldwide. At 11:48 UTC, Cloudflare confirmed they were experiencing issues, with their status page also becoming inaccessible during the peak disruption, further complicating the situation for users seeking updates.
Various platforms reliant on Cloudflare, including popular services such as X (formerly Twitter), OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Spotify, and many others, reported significant performance issues. With over 11,000 outage reports logged at one point, users encountered error messages and failures across multiple services. Compounding matters, scheduled maintenance at several data centers may have further exacerbated the crisis. By late afternoon UTC, recovery was still underway, with users in Europe, North America, and Asia continuing to experience lingering issues. Cloudflare committed to restoring services promptly and announced they would provide further updates following the resolution of these issues.
