Washington D.C : The outage, which began early Saturday morning, peaked around 8:39 a.m. ET (1239 GMT), when DownDetector recorded over 25,000 problem reports from users attempting to access the platform. Reports cited difficulties with the mobile app, website loading, and server connection issues.

DownDetector, a well-established outage monitoring platform, compiles user-submitted complaints alongside real-time data from internet services to identify service interruptions. The spike in reports suggests a widespread impact, although the exact cause of the outage had not been confirmed by X at the time of publication.

As of Saturday afternoon, there was no official statement from the company regarding the nature of the outage or an estimated timeline for service restoration.
