XHit by Repeated Short Outages, Disrupting Feeds, Logins and Posts

Lack of an explanation from X has revived doubts about the platform's reliability.

Overview

  • X saw two brief outages Wednesday in India, with reports starting around 2:03 am IST and again near 6 am, and Downdetector logged more than 25,500 complaints at the first peak.
  • Most reports pointed to the mobile app, which accounted for about 45 percent of problems, with feed refresh and the desktop site making up much of the rest.
  • Users described timelines that would not load, errors on the app, failed logins and blocked posting across both the app and the website.
  • Service returned within roughly an hour after each spike, yet no official cause has been shared by the company, though X’s chatbot Grok told users it was a brief technical outage.
  • The latest disruptions follow similar short outages in late March and were reported across countries such as India, the United States and the United Kingdom, reinforcing a pattern of recurring instability.
