For roughly two hours, the platform was slow-loading, wouldn&#8217;t load at all, or displayed tweets out of order in the feeds. The \u00a0Developer status page\u00a0 initially showed the API experiencing \u00a0downgraded performance\u00a0. After the initial spike, reports decreased significantly from nearly \u00a05,000\u00a0 to a steady \u00a01,000\u00a0 which has lasted since around \u00a01:00 p.m. Pacific\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, the main feeds have appeared mostly functional, with sporadic slowdowns. The primary concern seems to be with \u00a0DMs\u00a0 and chats that either won\u2019t load or are stuck in pending status. Reports late yesterday evening suggested that a fire at a data center in Hillsboro influenced the outage. This was corroborated when the \u00a0Oregonian\u00a0 reported that the \u00a0data center\u00a0 was ablaze for at least five hours.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, at least one user alerted that 2FA had also been impacted. Yet, \u00a0X\u00a0 has remained tight-lipped regarding any \u00a0official statements\u00a0 about the outages or their causes. CEO \u00a0Elon Musk\u00a0, usually vocal, returned to Twitter today to discuss solar energy while queries about the platform\u2019s dysfunction remained unanswered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wcp-item-content\">\n<time class=\"no-wrap live-feed-date\" datetime=\"2025-05-23T16:06:06+00:00\">2025-05-23T16:06:06.381Z<\/time><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"users-are-suggesting-a-dm-workaround-2\">Users Are Suggesting a DM Workaround<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\"  \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/teknomers.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748091905_822_X-Twitter-experiences-issues-\u2014-second-day-of-live-updates.jpg\" alt=\"A hacker typing quickly on a keyboard\"   loading=\"lazy\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/teknomers.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748091905_822_X-Twitter-experiences-issues-\u2014-second-day-of-live-updates.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/teknomers.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748091905_822_X-Twitter-experiences-issues-\u2014-second-day-of-live-updates.jpg\"\/><\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Shutterstock)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As we pass the \u00a024-hour\u00a0 mark since the first reports began to emerge, many X users are still unable to access or send \u00a0direct messages\u00a0.
