Cloudflare Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Griff (@ghagler) reported@Yetee_ @burcs Good Luck hearing anything from the Startup Program team, submitted 3 times in 5 months, never get a single response from them ever. Not even an a Auto Responder. That group hurts the overall Cloudflare experience.
-
Fiducial.ai (@Fiducial_AI) reported@Cloudflare Rejection reasons need stable, machine-readable codes. That would let operators fix identity or policy failures without guessing which submission field triggered the block.

Clank (@clankenluben) reported@237037037037j @0xRapid @Cloudflare Their **** goes down due to ****** junior dev code, read their incident reports you absolute moron, global infrastructure or not, go **** yourself.
-
Joe Elector always TRUTH (@joeelector) reported@Thedukeisking Quick checks first • Confirm it’s not a platform-wide issue: Check Downdetector for X/Twitter or search X for recent complaints about timeline/loading. Outages or CDN problems (e.g., Cloudflare) produce exactly this behavior for many users at once.

Bryan Offutt (@BryanOffutt) reportedBy the definition everyone seems to be using today, isn't any managed infra service a neocloud? Is Snowflake a neocloud? Databricks? Cloudflare? IMO calling anything that runs on GPUs a neocloud is kind of bizarre.

vu (@_vu) reportedSo if you have a $5 workers plan on cloudflare they think it gives them permission to charge $700+ to your card. After their **** alerts don’t ******* fire and your @cloudflare durable objects turn into ******* billing objects. Honestly ain’t realize how Salesforce coded they were

kevops (@kevvOH_) reportedtonight we are deploying the latest next.js RCE patches. bwana a huge thank you to cloudflare for protecting the web as always 🫡 luckily no public PoC was released, so no major panic, but never delay your updates.

Diego Siqueira (@diego1) reported@thekitze @frncsbkr @Cloudflare CloudFlare Email Sending keeps changing my daily limit randomly. Sometimes, it’s 2000 emails per day, and the next day, it drops to 100 emails per day. No bounces or any other issues, it’s just pure randomness. Apart from that, it works great and its cheap

Mishaa ☢️🚀 (@Sir_Mishaa) reported@JediW22 @ZeroDarkDev @ThePrimeagen Go still have garbage collector and bad error handling when rust does not have it. That's why Rust is being and will be use more and more, even in "low" level application When you are Cloudflare, scale matter a lot.

James (@jamescoder12) reportedThe full impact. What he changed and what happened: 1. Moved the router out of the cabinet: 74 Mbps → 155 Mbps 2. Changed the Wi-Fi channel: 155 Mbps → 290 Mbps 3. Widened the channel width to 80 MHz: 290 Mbps → 370 Mbps 4. Switched DNS to Cloudflare: browsing latency dropped noticeably pages load faster on first hit 5. Updated firmware: 370 Mbps → 395 Mbps + eliminated random disconnections 6. Changed admin password: closed the biggest security hole in his home network 7. Separated 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands: eliminated TV buffering and device drops 8. Upgraded to WPA3: modern encryption on every connection 9. Bought his own router, returned the rental: $168/year saved Starting speed: 74 Mbps (on a 500 Mbps plan getting 15% of what he paid for) Ending speed: 440 Mbps (getting 88% of what he paid for) He then downgraded from the 500 Mbps plan back to 200 Mbps because 200 Mbps with optimized settings was faster than 500 Mbps with factory defaults. Monthly savings from the downgrade: $30/month = $360/year Monthly savings from returning the rental: $14/month = $168/year Total annual savings: $528/year while getting faster, more secure, more stable Wi-Fi. Total time to make all 9 changes: 15 minutes of settings + one trip to Best Buy for the router + one phone call to return the rental.

Felipe Salazar | Web Dev & SEO (@philipwebdev) reported@burcs i was thinking about this, but cloudflare d1 has known issues, and no postgresql inhouse alternatives, also in aws at least they have aws budget actions with iam policy to stop almost any service by billing limit or quota(even with the 8 hour delay). also tech support

Nana (@nmanu__) reportedHi @dillon_mulroy I’ve applied to the cloudflare startups program for a product I’m working on for days and I’ve still not heard anything back. Could you help with anyone I could speak with?

Frantisek (Frank) Borsik (@FBorsik) reported@eastdakota @Cloudflare Matthew, how can I turn off that stupid AI in @CloudflareRadar - it's not helping me at all, quite the contrary, I'm not able to find ISPs I'm looking for, since you guys rolled it out. Just horrible customer experience :( in product I used to love.

Full Stack Patriot (@fullStackRebel) reportedIf you're all really want to cack your britches... Cloudflare moved a lot of its internal and external IT insecurity s*** to india. If they have even a moderately bad day , a quarter of the internet goes down for hours

SkipJackson (@IamSkipJackson) reported@distributedkv Passkey is better as long as you only need to authenticate when you set it up. But is still a pain in that you have to click here, click there, select from a menu, and all that. But at least it’s just a clicking exercise. What I loathe are the g**gle recapture things and Cloudflare’s are you a human. If I really really need in I will give google one screen on the recapture, one click on Cloudflare. I don’t use many iPhone apps, but when I do I am all in Face ID. So, it’s not as bad as it used to be.

Jarod (@stewartjarod) reported@iamshiven_singh @boristane I mean. AWS is the least bad of the big 3. 👍. Cloudflare will maybe get big 4 but the way they bill on things keeps them under AWS still imo

Jason Luongo (@JasonL_Capital) reported7. $NET - Cloudflare The network sitting in front of the internet. Q2 revenue $696.1 million, up 36%. Cloudflare's CTO has said they are already using GPT-5.5 in internal defensive workflows. Signed the letter. Daybreak partner. When the letter says "fix weaknesses that have accumulated for years," a lot of those weaknesses are on the edge.

Top Stock Alerts (@TopStockAlerts1) reportedJFrog introduced JFrog Traffic Controller, a new product that integrates with Secure Access Service Edge providers such as Zscaler, Cloudflare and Netskope to route software package downloads through JFrog Artifactory, where they are screened for security vulnerabilities, licensing issues and quality before reaching developers. The launch expands JFrog’s software supply-chain security platform into the network layer as malicious packages rise sharply, with company research showing a 451% year-over-year increase to more than 171,000 unique instances. RBC Capital Markets also initiated coverage with an Outperform rating and a $118 price target, citing JFrog’s growing cloud business and its role in software supply-chain security and AI-era development. Q2 revenue rose 29% to $163.8 million, while adjusted EPS of $0.27 beat estimates, prompting the company to raise its full-year revenue outlook to $650 million at the midpoint. $FROG

Nima (@nimanikroo) reportedis there no real person a user can speak with at @CloudflareHelp @Cloudflare ? just submitting a case and waiting for "we are looking into it" does not do anything for anyone! Who do I speak with about my situation? Do i have to be famous or hope the algo spreads my post before anyone can help?

Ben Haupt (@benchaupt) reportedI'm noticing a pattern of new(er) engineers (and vibe-developers) over-designing their tech stacks for simpler projects (e.g, mobile app backend on AWS)... It should be a pretty simple decision: buy the things where being wrong is a compliance event or an outage. Database = Postgres (just raw postgres) Auth = Auth0, Cognito or Clerk (compliance event) Email = Resend or SES (deliverability is pain) Payments = Stripe Cache = Redis Queue = Rabbit or Bull CDN + edge = Cloudflare Analytics = PostHog Observability = Prometheus + Loki + Sentry + Better Stack SMS = Twilio Compute = VPS (Synteq (biased), digital ocean, etc)

Tino Wening (@TinoWening) reported@Howaboua I’m pretty cautious when it comes to relying on third-party cloud systems. Think of GitHub, AWS, and CloudFlare outages. What happens if there’s an outage right when you’re in the zone? I think a local backup system makes sense if you don’t have much trust in third-party providers. It’s always a balance between dependence and self-maintenance. With the latter, you’re in control and can decide what happens, when, and how.
