Reddit outage history

Reddit experienced a brief moderation hiccup when moderators were temporarily unable to approve content via Modmail on reddit.com. The issue affected the Modmail component and hindered moderation actions for about an hour, with users likely noticing delayed approvals during that window. Reddit’s status page labeled the incident as “Mods Unable to Approve Content” and indicated that the root cause was under investigation. The problem began at 12:27 AM UTC and was resolved by 1:27 AM UTC, as services returned to normal.

Reddit's infrastructure degradation began at 11:37 PM UTC and was resolved by 12:37 AM UTC. During that hour, users may have experienced slower page loads and intermittent issues as Reddit investigated and stabilized the service.

The Reddit Infrastructure component moved from up to warn and back to up, per the status updates, indicating a short-lived, global disruption.

Reddit users experienced a site loading failure caused by an upstream error, with pages failing to load for many users. Early reports came from multiple regions, including the United Kingdom and Australia, indicating cross-region impact. The impact appears to have started around 5:45 PM UTC, with StatusGator flagging an upstream issue beginning at 5:56 PM UTC and continuing through 6:29 PM UTC.

Users began reporting issues around 6:30 AM UTC, with the Reddit app and website feed failing to load and multiple connection errors observed. The disruption appeared across regions including the United States, Germany, India, Australia, Romania, and the United Kingdom, indicating a broad impact on feed access and content discovery for many users. People described the feed not loading and server errors when trying to browse, hindering normal usage for a portion of users during the early morning. StatusGator’s Early Warning Signal captured the issue at 6:42 AM UTC and concluded at 6:47 AM UTC. Reddit did not publish an official incident update during that window, and reports began to subside after the warning, with service returning toward normal shortly after. The incident appears to be relatively brief and primarily affected the feed loading experience rather than a full platform outage, with a global footprint suggested by reports from multiple continents.

Users worldwide reported the Reddit app failing to load content and upload media, with feeds not updating and searches returning empty results. In many cases posts and images in Groups disappeared or failed to appear, leaving the experience broadly degraded for a large portion of users. The disruption spanned roughly from 7:45 PM UTC to 9:52 PM UTC.

StatusGator logged an Early Warning Signal when reports described the issue before Reddit's status page acknowledged the problem; the early signal reflects a global pattern rather than a regional outage. A notable surge in user reports occurred around 9:00 PM UTC to 9:45 PM UTC, indicating widespread impact. Reddit did not publish any official status updates during the window, and the incident appears to have affected core app functionalities for a couple of hours.

Reddit users experienced an outage starting at 7:52 PM UTC when the site reported elevated site errors and began investigating. The disruption affected Reddit.com across Desktop Web, Mobile Web, and Native Mobile Apps, with pages failing to load, posts not appearing, and search or media not functioning. The impact was broad across platforms, and many users reported a degraded or unusable experience.

The status page showed ongoing investigation, and at 9:07 PM UTC a fix had been implemented and Reddit was monitoring the results. By 9:27 PM UTC the Desktop Web, Mobile Web, and Native Mobile Apps had recovered and returned to normal operation, marking the incident resolved after roughly two hours.

An extremely brief CDN connectivity issue caused Reddit content not to load for some users in the Philippines. StatusGator detected the problem at 5:37 AM UTC, with user reports noting the CDN was unable to reach Reddit servers. The issue appeared to be resolved by 5:40 AM UTC, after about three minutes. Reddit did not publish an official status update during the window. The geographic pattern suggests a CDN edge problem affecting a regional audience, with reports from cities including Quezon City and Cebu City. Users experienced loading failures during the incident, after which service returned to normal.

Users on Reddit experienced an outage where mobile pages would not load due to CDN connectivity problems. The impact began at 11:24 AM UTC and was largely resolved by 11:51 AM UTC, spanning roughly 26 minutes. Affected users reported CDN errors or CDN servers unable to reach Reddit, leading to failed page loads for mobile users across multiple locations. The issue appeared more pronounced in India, with additional reports from the United States, suggesting a regional pattern before service stabilized.

StatusGator detected the outage from user reports starting at 11:24 AM UTC, ahead of any official Reddit acknowledgment. The available data shows mobile page accessibility issues driven by CDN connectivity, with recovery observed as CDN paths stabilized.

Users attempting to access Reddit began seeing HTTP 503 errors starting at 1:54 PM UTC as capacity constraints caused a short period of degraded service across Reddit web and API endpoints. The errors, described in reports as 'maximum threads reached' and random 503 responses, indicate the service faced a load-related strain during the incident. The issue appeared to be brief, with services returning to normal by 1:56 PM UTC.

StatusGator logged an Early Warning Signal for Reddit at Jul 29, 2026 1:54 PM UTC, indicating capacity-related errors before Reddit posted any status updates. Reddit did not publish an official incident update during this event on their status page. The short disruption suggests a transient spike in demand rather than a sustained outage, with user-reported issues tapering off as traffic stabilized.

Users across multiple regions experienced an outage in the Reddit iOS app, with posts failing to load and the feed appearing blank. The issue began around 8:27 PM UTC and surged in reports around 8:30 PM UTC, before gradually easing and ending around 8:49 PM UTC. The disruption appeared widespread on mobile, affecting users in Europe, North America, and other regions.
