What is the cause of the Cloudflare outage?

Major platforms, including the social network X and the AI chatbot ChatGPT, faced widespread outages on Tuesday after Cloudflare revealed that a latent software flaw had disrupted its systems. Data from Downdetector showed that users also ran into problems on League of Legends, as well as certain services from Google and OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT.

Cloudflare issued an apology earlier this week

In a post on X, Cloudflare Chief Technology Officer Dane Knecht acknowledged the disruption and apologised, stating that the company had let down both its customers and the broader internet community when a failure in its network interrupted large volumes of traffic. He said services had since been restored. Knecht explained that the incident was caused by a latent bug in a system used to support Cloudflare’s bot mitigation tools, which was triggered by a routine configuration update and led to a service crash.
