XSuffers Global Outage, Service Largely Restored Within an Hour

Outage-tracking sites logged tens of thousands of reports globally as X offered no explanation.

Overview

  • Downdetector recorded peaks of more than 41,000 reports in the U.S., about 11,000 in the U.K. and roughly 3,000 in India around 8:30 a.m. ET and the evening in IST.
  • Users encountered blank timelines and error messages such as “Something went wrong,” with some also reporting login failures on both app and web.
  • Several users said X’s Grok chatbot was unresponsive during the disruption, signaling impact beyond core timelines.
  • Service began working again for many within roughly 40–60 minutes, with NetBlocks describing the incident as international in scope.
  • X did not comment on a cause and its developer status page showed “All systems are operational,” underscoring a pattern after multiple January outages.
