The answer is: Nope, it's not just you.

Down Detector noted a bunch of problems that users were having on Tuesday morning. As of publishing, the X Developer Platform showed no issues, but Cloudflare did note an issue.

What's the specific issue? Per Cloudflare: "Cloudflare is aware of, and investigating an issue which impacts multiple customers: Widespread 500 errors, Cloudflare Dashboard and API also failing.We are working to understand the full impact and mitigate this problem. More updates to follow shortly."

What was the reason for the Cloudflare outage?

Per CNBC:

A Cloudflare spokesperson said the company observed a “spike in unusual traffic” to one of its services around 6:20 a.m. ET, causing some traffic passing through its network to experience errors.

“We do not yet know the cause of the spike in unusual traffic,” the spokesperson added. “We are all hands on deck to make sure all traffic is served without errors.”
