If you observed that some of your preferred sites are malfunctioning this afternoon, you are not by yourself. It seems that nearly the entire internet is experiencing issues, involving Google Cloud, OpenAI, Twitch, Discord, Nintendo, and Spotify.

Down Detector, a service for reporting errors and problems, displayed a significant rise in issues. (Disclosure: Down Detector is a subsidiary of Mashable’s parent company Ziff Davis.) Users have also shared their dissatisfaction on social media platforms like X.

The Google Cloud status page recognized “service disruptions” at 2:46 p.m. ET.

A Google Cloud spokesperson informed Mashable: “We are currently looking into a service outage affecting some Google Cloud services.”

The Google Cloud status page notes that regions impacted include locations throughout Asia, Australia, Europe, the Middle East, and both North and South America.
