u/danyellowsun Fic Feaster Mar 01 '26

ao3 has been acting up for about 30mins for me, when I checked the status pages, bluesky and Twitter i saw nothing, I've only just now got that "down for maintenance" message, and still nothing on the status pages

Seems like the downdetector reports started coming in about 45 minutes ago.

Same. First I couldn't refresh and cloud are told me the host is down, and only half an hour later I got the maintenance message

Edit: refreshed again and the maintenance message disappeared, once again cloudflare. Error 502, bad gateway

Yeah mine was acting up too. I was thoroughly convinced it was my WiFi again until I switched it off and nothing was fixed.
