Popular social network and forum site Reddit reported significant outages on Monday morning.
The connection errors started at around 11:20 a.m. ET, according to the website Downdetector, which collects anecdotal reports from impacted users globally. At its peak, more than 90,000 users logged an outage report with the downtime tracking website.
At 11:52 a.m. ET, Reddit Status, the company’s website tracking its own outages, confirmed it was investigating “elevated errors” across the website and app.
A few minutes later, the company said the issue was identified, and by 12:10 p.m. ET, the company implemented a fix and said it was “monitoring results.” At 12:21 p.m. ET, Reddit Status showed that all systems were once again operational.
When reached for comment, a Reddit spokesperson said, “We were briefly unable to connect to one of our databases, which caused the outage. A fix was quickly deployed, and we are now up and running.”
Reddit reported an “elevated errors” issue three times in February, as well as a few weeks ago, according to its status page.
