They don't name names but it's probably due to the ongoing Cloudflare explosion. I know the DigitalOcean Spaces CDN is just Cloudflare under the hood.
Yes all sites showing the CloudFlare error due to the massive outage. Seems their outages are getting more frequent and taking down the internet in new ways each time.
I have two projects on DO using droplets and they are still running fine.
So yesterday Azure got hit hard, today CF and DO are down, bad week or something else?
Azure DDoS event happened in October. Blog post about the attack was published yesterday, and was quickly picked up by news sites.
I use DO's load balancers in a couple of projects, and they don't list Cloudflare as an upstream dependency anywhere that I've seen. It's so frustrating to think you're clear of a service then find out that you're actually in their blast radius too through no fault of your own.
Dominos falling into dominos falling into dominos…
I knew it, DigitalOcean CDN is using Cloudflare behind the scenes. Why DO ?
Who is next?
my guesses would be look at who has a FedRAMP capable service first.

maybe also GCP, hetzner, akamai

Man, it really seems like the cloud providers are having some tough times lately. Azure, AWS, and Cloudflare! Is everything just secretly AWS?
