  1. Official
    Investigating

    Cloudflare is investigating issues with Workers Cron Triggers. Customers who have recently created or modified a Cron Trigger schedule may find that the schedule is not executing as expected. Pre-existing Cron Trigger schedules that have not been recently modified are not affected. We are working to identify the cause and mitigate this problem. More updates to follow shortly.

  2. Official
    Identified

    A fix has been identified and is underway

  3. Official
    Monitoring

    We are continuing to monitor for any further issues.

  4. Official
    Resolved

    Workers Cron Trigger backlogs have cleared and appear healthy. Cron Trigger schedules should be executing as expected. Some schedule redeploys may be required for a small fraction of Workers who were impacted during the incident.

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.
