Cloudflare outage list: X, OpenAI, Canva, Spotify, more impacted

Another day, another huge internet outage, impacting sites across the internet.

At 11:48 UTC on Nov. 18, Cloudflare confirmed its global network is experiencing issues impacting "multiple customers." No, you're not experiencing déjà vu. This is not Cloudflare's first rodeo. Huge swathes of the internet went down in June 2025 due to Cloudflare disruption, resulting in problems for Twitch, Etsy, Discord, and Google. Familiarity with these kinds of events doesn't make them any less irritating.

In a statement to Mashable via email, Cloudflare said, "We saw a spike in unusual traffic to one of Cloudflare's services beginning at 11:20 UTC. That caused some traffic passing through Cloudflare's network to experience errors. We do not yet know the cause of the spike in unusual traffic. We are all hands on deck to make sure all traffic is served without errors. After that, we will turn our attention to investigating the cause of the unusual spike in traffic.

"We will post updates to cloudflarestatus.com and more in-depth analysis when it is ready to blog.cloudflare.com."
