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.

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.

They seem to beat their chest in every elaborate highly technical post-mortem as they report the timestamp of events down to the millisecond as if we should be impressed!

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

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

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

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

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

Cloudflare IS the internet. Take that seriously.
