Having issues? You're not alone.

A major internet disruption affected dozens of popular platforms on Thursday. It all started around 2:30pm. Users reported issues with Gmail, Twitch, Discord, Spotify, Nintendo Switch Online, and more. Some services have come back, but many are still having issues. 

The outage appears to be tied to Cloudflare, a widely used internet infrastructure provider. The company confirmed 'broad service outages' and said it was investigating the issue. In an update, Cloudflare said systems are gradually recovering but warned of intermittent errors as services reset.

Outage tracking site Down Detector showed a surge in error reports, and users flooded social media with complaints. Even Google services like Google Meet were temporarily affected.

While most sites are back online, some users may still experience slow loading or access issues as systems stabilize. The full cause of the disruption is still being evaluated.
