X went down for many users just before noon on Wednesday as users reported a sharp spike in issues.
Data from Downdetector shows complaints from users of the social media app formerly known as Twitter were minimal for most of the past 24 hours before surging suddenly in the last few minutes — reaching tens of thousands of reports in a short period.
Users report problems loading posts, feeds and notifications across mobile and web. It’s unclear how widespread the outage is or how long it will last.
The site was restore to regular service just a few minutes later.
At its peak, there were more than 34,500 reports of issues with X, according to Downdetector, before coming down to 845 reports as of 11:39 a.m. ET.
Downdetector tracks outages by collating status reports from a number of sources. The actual number of affected users may differ from what is shown on Downdetector, as the reports are submitted by users.
X did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
