They first acknowledged Dec 19 15:06 UTC, and it's still broken as I write this. https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/

If true, looking forward to the post-mortem. I guess no-one is on-call at Cloudflare.

It would appear that there is no sense of urgency or seriousness at the company and I assume that they might have taken the AI agent cool-aid.

Clearly that is not going so well, and it seems like they want to ruin their reputation on every incident.

This might have started a day earlier though I am not certain (am in Bangkok and I thought it was the office routing system messing up with Cloudflare DNS) but for different periods of times, their proxied sites were very slow though not erroring.

And https://downdetector.com/status/github/ is down again.

It’s not very broken then, because I've been using sites behind the Cloudflare CDN all day with no trouble. Even the status page says it's just intermittent errors.

last error I've seen as of now was at 08:50... a good 40 minutes ago.

I can't believe more people aren't talking about this

I wasn't able to sign in a few minutes ago, but after a few tries it worked

I've seen a few 504 errors in a couple of sites that use CF

And I was rebooting my router last night and this morning ....

Cloudflare IS the internet. Take that seriously.

And as of now, it's STILL broken!!

Really, we need to stop relying on Cloudflare so much. This is just too much centralization.
