X hit by twin outages in a day as mystery downtime rattles users

X suffered two major outages on Feb 16, 2026, leaving users worldwide unable to load posts and seeing errors. Downdetector spikes peaked around 41,000 US reports and 12,000 in the UK during the first wave and recurred later, with the latest spike approaching earlier highs before easing. No official cause has been given; Cloudflare and AWS reported no widespread issues, suggesting the fault may lie with an internal crash, DNS misconfiguration, or overly aggressive anti-bot systems. The service appeared to recover by the end of the day, though some users still faced problems as the outageApparently persisted regionally.

X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, faced a global outage with about 43,000 user reports on Downdetector as of 8:34 a.m. ET; users saw error messages like 'Something went wrong' and were unable to load timelines or post. Service briefly recovered for about an hour, then a second wave of issues hit around 1 p.m. ET before clearing up again in under an hour.

X outage leaves users staring at blank screens as service recovers in under two hours

A widespread outage on X (formerly Twitter) around 10am ET on Jan 16 left thousands with blank screens on desktop and mobile. Downdetector tracked a huge spike as posts failed to load for about 90 minutes before service largely recovered. Some users still experienced slow loads or partial access, and DMs and Grok AI responses were affected. X’s status page later indicated all systems were operational, and Tom’s Guide provided a live recap of the event; the incident was shorter and less dramatic than the 2025 outage.
