Sharing an update on the situation, Cloudflare said, "A fix has been implemented and we believe the incident is now resolved. We are continuing to monitor for errors to ensure all services are back to normal."

The complaints of X's inaccessibility spiked at around 5:10 pm (IST). Around 47% of the outage complaints were related to feed, 30% said the website was down, and 23% faced server connection issues. At about 5:40 pm, however, X turned accessible for most users in India.
