San Francisco: Tens of thousands of global users of X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday reported problems using the Elon Musk-owned social network.
Reports of the platform's troubles began spiking just before 0600 GMT on monitoring site Downdetector.
"User reports indicate problems at X (Twitter)," the site said.
The platform resumed service for users in multiple countries shortly after 0640 GMT.
Timelines on the platform were emptied and no new posts visible, although the twitter.com site was available.
With no way to post on X, social media users published updates about the outage on rivals including Facebook, Threads, and Reddit.
At the outage's peak, Downdetector indicated that about 67,000 US users reported problems.
The outage also affected X Pro, formerly known as TweetDeck.
There has been no immediate comment from X, nor any indication of what caused the outage.
A major outage on X was also reported by Downdetector in February, affecting thousands of users.
