What is happening to the internet?
The network is in turmoil on April 20. First, Downdetector reported a failure in ChatGPT, and within a few minutes, similar reports began to arrive about Claude, Copilot, Gemini, as well as services not related to AI, writes 24 Kanal .
Although no one has given a reason, it is likely that this time it was Cloudflare again. There is a message on the company's website about the outage, but it does not provide details or indicate whether it affects customers, namely companies.
One of the outage messages states that users “may experience connection issues or degraded internet quality,” but without providing details.
Additionally, there is a separate local issue in the US and Sydney, but this clearly would not affect the entire world, including Telegram.
Renewal
As of 19:24, ChatGPT has resumed operations, and all services that were down are returning to normal. Currently, the number of complaints on Downdetector is dropping sharply, indicating that there are no problems.
