Reddit Outage History

Reddit faced degraded infrastructure beginning 10:57 PM UTC, when the official status page flagged 'Experiencing Issues with Reddit Infrastructure' and the Reddit Infrastructure component moved to a degraded state. User reports started to surface by 3:00 AM UTC, though overall volume was small; a sample report from India at 3:12 AM UTC described not loading with ERR_CONNECTION_RESET.

The disruption persisted for roughly seven hours and the Reddit Infrastructure component did not recover until 6:02 AM UTC when the status returned to up, impacting user experiences such as loading pages and posting during that period.

Reddit users around the globe faced loading failures and rate-limiting as Reddit Infrastructure experienced issues starting around 8:02 AM UTC. Across regions, pages would not load and users saw errors such as 'Too many requests' or generic load failures. The volume of reports rose through the morning, peaking around 10:15 AM UTC to 10:30 AM UTC as the impact spread. The degradation persisted for most of the day before parts of the service began returning toward normal.

The Reddit Infrastructure experienced a brief degradation starting around 7:42 AM UTC when the status page listed 'Experiencing Issues with Reddit Infrastructure'. The issue was resolved by 7:52 AM UTC. A small number of users reported issues around 7:30 AM UTC before the status page acknowledged the problem, suggesting a global, short-lived disruption. In the official updates, Reddit Infrastructure moved from up to warn and back to up, indicating a brief disruption with a transient impact on access or performance.

No regional pattern is evident; the incident appears to have been global and contained to the short window.

The issue began in the early minutes of the window and persisted briefly as users attempted to access Reddit.

Users across the United States and Canada reported that Reddit’s app and desktop site were not loading, with many seeing internal server errors or blank screens.
