Yahoo Recovers After An Outage, Error Reports Decline: Here’s What You Need To Know

• The homepages of Yahoo services and AOL are now loading fine, with recent updates appearing on their respective pages.
• Error reports for these services have also declined on the service-tracking website Downdetector.
• Multiple services recently experienced outages, including the social media platform X and OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

Update: Yahoo services and AOL are now operating normally following an outage earlier on Wednesday, with error reports on the service-tracking website Downdetector declining.

Earlier, the homepages of several Yahoo services, including the search engine, Yahoo Finance, and Yahoo Mail, as well as AOL, displayed a blank page with the following message: “Edge: Too Many Requests.”

Service-tracking website Downdetector also showed a massive spike in Yahoo outage reports, with users reporting issues accessing multiple services.

Yahoo is 90% owned by Apollo Global Management and 10% by Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ). Verizon shares were down 0.1% in Wednesday morning’s trade. Retail sentiment on Stocktwits around the company trended in the ‘neutral’ territory at the time of writing.

Issue Resolved

All the Yahoo services and AOL were loading normally at the time of writing.

Users on Downdetector across locations reported that the websites are back up and running for them.

Other Recent Outages

Multiple services recently experienced outages, including the social media platform X and OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

While X faced multiple outages, with the most recent being earlier this month, ChatGPT faced issues in November due to an issue at Cloudflare Inc. (NET). This issue also impacted X, among other parts of the internet.

In October, an outage at Amazon.com Inc.’s (AMZN) AWS cloud service disrupted the company’s own services, with users reporting issues with Gmail, YouTube, Instagram, and Snapchat, among others.
