Monitoring
Starting at 05:00 UTC, a network connectivity issue between several Cloudflare data centers caused a small percentage of requests to fail. R2 customers may have seen HTTP 500 errors, and requests for content served through Tiered Cache may have returned 520, 522 or 524 errors. Customers in Chicago and Newark saw the highest error rates, and other locations were affected at lower rates. Error rates have dropped close to normal levels since 05:30 UTC. We are continuing to monitor while the underlying network issue is resolved.

What our checkpoints saw
HostTracker's checkpoints, which test cloudflare.com from several locations, recorded no outage of 5 minutes or longer during this incident. A provider can report a problem that affects only some features, regions or accounts, which a check of the main address does not see. The live Cloudflare status shows what our checks see right now.
Does your product depend on Cloudflare?
An outage like this one reaches your users through your product, and most teams hear about it from a customer rather than from a dashboard. HostTracker watches any endpoint you name - your own site, an API you call, a vendor you resell - from 300+ locations, confirms a failure from several of them before it says anything, and then tells you by email, SMS, voice call or your chat tool.
You get the same record you are reading here for your own services: every outage timestamped, with the checks that observed it.
