Cloudflare's network reliability continues to face scrutiny after a series of critical incidents in late 2025 and early 2026, including a major global traffic outage on November 18 triggered by a Bot Management feature file expansion from a database permissions change, a December 5 disruption affecting 28% of HTTP traffic, and a February 20 BGP route withdrawal for BYOIP customers lasting several hours. These events, all classified as red/P0 by the company, stemmed from internal configuration and automation errors rather than external attacks, prompting post-mortems focused on change management and failure modes. As of late August 2026, only minor regional degradations in Asia Pacific have occurred, with services otherwise operating normally. Trader assessments of another such incident reflect the firm's vast scale, rapid deployment cadence, and historical pattern of infrequent but high-impact outages, alongside any upcoming maintenance windows or product updates that could introduce similar risks.

This market will resolve to “Yes” if Cloudflare experiences any incident classified as Critical (red) as of the time it is marked as “Resolved” by the listed date (ET). Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”.
Classifications of an incident while it is ongoing will have no bearing on the resolution of this market. Only classifications of events that are resolved will be considered.
Qualifying incidents include outages and other issues classified as critical when they are resolved, during this market's above-specified timeframe.
An incident resolved outside this market’s timeframe will only qualify if ongoing at this market’s resolution time, in which case the market will remain open until that incident is marked as “Resolved,” and resolution will be based on the first impact classification thereafter, regardless of subsequent revisions or corrections.
Revisions that upgrade an incident’s impact classification to Critical will qualify if the incident was resolved and the revision is published within this market’s timeframe.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from Cloudflare (for example, on cloudflarestatus.com or cloudflarestatus.com/history); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Cloudflare's network reliability continues to face scrutiny after a series of critical incidents in late 2025 and early 2026, including a major global traffic outage on November 18 triggered by a Bot Management feature file expansion from a database permissions change, a December 5 disruption affecting 28% of HTTP traffic, and a February 20 BGP route withdrawal for BYOIP customers lasting several hours.
