On its status page, Reddit acknowledged the issue with a statement posted at 8:52 a.m. PDT (11:52 a.m. ET), “We’ve identified elevated errors across the site and app and are working on a fix.”
The platform has not yet provided a timeline for when services might be fully restored.

Other Platforms Also Report Outages
In addition to Reddit, there are reports of intermittent issues affecting other major services, including Amazon Web Services (AWS) and cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike. It is currently unclear whether these outages are related.
As Reddit remained inaccessible, many users took to X (formerly Twitter) to share screenshots of the error messages and check if others were facing similar issues. The platform quickly became a hub for real-time user reactions and updates as the outage unfolded.
