Cloudflare outage takes down ChatGPT, X

|November 19, 2025
A worldwide outage plaguing the network of cybersecurity firm Cloudflare Inc. has taken down the websites for everything from the chief US energy regulator, ChatGPT, the New Jersey transit authority and the social-media platform X.
While Cloudflare said on Tuesday that it was working to restore services and was “seeing services recover”, countless websites remained down, including that of the bond grader and financial data provider Moody's Corp.
A Cloudflare spokesperson said the company observed a “spike in unusual traffic” to one of its services around 6:20am ET (local time), causing some traffic passing through its network to experience errors.
“We do not yet know the cause of the spike in unusual traffic,” the spokesperson added. “We are all hands on deck to make sure all traffic is served without errors.”
Cloudflare shares were down 4% in premarket trading.
