How long was X down for?

The outage lasted for a whole hour before services were promptly restored. However, it took a bit longer in other regions. Even after services were restored, a few users felt some slowdowns.


What caused the outrage? Was it a cyberattack?

As of this writing, X has not confirmed the cause of the outage. Elon Musk, who owns X, is quite active on the platform but has yet to address this. Also, since there are no indications of a possible cyberattack, rumors about the outage being an attack are ruled out until X announces it.

This isn't the first time social media services suffered a downtime. Meta's platform also suffers from network outages. Sony's PlayStation Network also suffered a massive outage on February 7, 2025, which lasted 24 hours, prompting many to believe it was a cyberattack. Therefore, it is understandable if people thought it was the same for X.
