Overview
- Downdetector recorded more than 42,000 user reports in the United States and over 4,000 in Spain, with additional spikes across Europe and Latin America.
- Both the app and web were affected, with users reporting feeds not loading, errors posting, search and login failures, and issues with direct messages.
- Service returned for many users after roughly an hour, then intermittent errors resurfaced later the same day according to continued monitoring and user reports.
- X’s AI chatbot Grok was also disrupted during the outage, limiting access for users in several countries.
- The company offered no cause or recovery timeline, and coverage notes this follows earlier 2026 outages, including a January 16 incident linked in reports to a Cloudflare 522 error.
