Is X down? Thousands report login issues as platform faces widespread disruption

Users trying to access X on Monday were met with unexpected problems, as the platform experienced a sudden outage. The disruption appeared without much warning, leaving many unable to log in or use key features. Reports quickly began piling up, reflecting widespread frustration among users.

While the situation seems to be improving, questions remain about what caused the issue and when things will fully return to normal.

When did the X outage begin?

The problems started shortly before 4:30 p.m. EST, catching many users off guard. According to Downdetector, complaints began rising quickly as people struggled to access the platform.

Earlier in the day, at around 1:52 p.m. PT, more than 2,700 users had already reported issues. That number later surged significantly, showing how widespread the disruption had become, as per several reports.

What issues were users facing?

Most of the trouble appeared to be tied to the website. Around 60 percent of users reported problems logging in through the site.

Others experienced issues with the mobile app, while a portion said they couldn’t get past the login process at all. These problems made it difficult for users to post, browse, or even access their accounts.

How widespread was the disruption?

At its peak, more than 16,000 users had reported issues with X. The majority of these complaints pointed to website-related failures rather than app-specific glitches, as quoted in a report by The GV Wire.

As the day went on, reports began to slow down, suggesting that the platform may have started stabilizing.

Despite the improvement, there’s still no official timeline for when all issues will be fully resolved.
