Twitter is down for many users — here are the latest updates
Thousands of users met with "rate limit exceeded" or "cannot retrieve tweets" error messages
www.tomsguide.comI don’t have live tool access in this turn, but here’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting.
- There have been notable outages affecting X (Twitter) infrastructure in 2025–2026, including periods of global disruption and follow-up outages tied to data-center and network issues. Some outlets described outages as spanning several hours with intermittent service for timelines, logins, and posting.[1][2][4]
- Outages have sometimes been attributed to major infrastructure problems or cyber events, with company statements or prominent figures indicating ongoing investigations or mitigation efforts. Expect updates from X’s status pages and major tech outlets during any such incident.[2][1]
- For the very latest, check real-time outage trackers (Downdetector, Is The Service Down) and major tech news sites, as they continuously consolidate user reports and official statements during active outages.[3][6][8]
If you want, I can pull the very latest headlines and summarize them, or provide a quick checklist to verify whether your own access is affected (app vs. web, account status, regional blocks, cached credentials). Would you like me to do that?
