At its peak, there were 1,351 outage reports in the United States while there were just 530 in India. Usually, when a platform stops working, people turn towards X to vent out their frustration or check what others have to say. However, this was not the case, as the platform itself was not working, leaving many users feeling stuck without their usual way of staying updated.
This is not the first time X has faced such a problem. Earlier in the morning, there was another outage. During that time, reports in the United States reached about 11,800, which was much higher than the later outage.
