    You’re linking to the wrong status page item, the outage was totally unrelated to that maintenance. If you look at cloudflare maintenance history, they do that exact type of maintenance all the time.

      The screenshot was before the proper outage was reported and the status was just so people could follow if/when the situation changed

      They were responding to the React.js vulnerability which is a 10/10 severity, sky is falling event so there really was little choice.

    This is more likely the actual incident report:

    A change made to how Cloudflare’s Web Application Firewall parses requests caused Cloudflare’s network to be unavailable for several minutes this morning. This was not an attack; the change was deployed by our team to help mitigate the industry-wide vulnerability disclosed this week in React Server Components. We will share more information as we have it today.

    They have the world’s internet by the balls, and this weakness has really become apparent lately. This one looks like it may be even worse, as the 500’s are at a higher level. Not even branded custom error pages now.

    If your web service is affected by this, then you are the problem. Cloudflare has proven itself to be highly unreliable. It is a mistake to keep using it.

    Y’all desperately looking for a reason to screech. Oh God, scheduled maintenance for an hour 🤣

      Ah yes. Half the internet going down for an hour. Planned maintenance so it’s ok. No, it’s not ok. This is a major infrastructure company. You don’t need to bring down your service to perform maintanance. That’s only for small businesses for whom it’s not worth it to maintain the service up while doing maintainance.
