According to PANews, numerous users of the X platform have experienced significant disruptions in basic functionalities for over 24 hours. Issues such as messages failing to load, timelines not updating, and the need to refresh pages multiple times to view certain posts have been reported. Downdetector indicates that these problems began on Thursday afternoon, with thousands of users reporting login failures and disappearing direct messages starting from 2:12 AM UTC+8 on Friday.
The official engineering account of X stated that a data center interruption has led to decreased service performance, and the team is actively working to resolve the issues. Additionally, Wired magazine reported a fire at a data center rented by X near Portland, Oregon, on Thursday. It remains unclear if this incident is related to the current service disruptions.
