Twitter suffers another outage

If Twitter isn’t loading fine for you, you’re not alone. Tens of thousands of users are complaining that they are unable to access the Elon Musk-owned social network, seeing scores of strange error-messages instead. Some are being greeted with a blank page while others are getting signed out of the service, they said. Many users said they were unable to see their replies or respond to tweets.

Twitter showed “rate-exceeding limit” to users, suggesting its servers weren’t able to cope up with the incoming requests.

The outage, which appears to be affecting users outside the U.S., began at about 4 p.m. Pacific time. Third-party web monitoring services including NetBlocks and DownDetector confirmed receiving reports from users.

Many are also unable to access TweetDeck, a power users-focused service from Twitter. NetBlocks additionally added that the “widespread” incident is not related to “country-level internet disruptions or filtering.” Twitter has yet to acknowledge an outage.
