Seems that their api for their web app is currently returning a 503 from POST https://api.twitter.com/1.1/onboarding/sso_init.json

Response payload: {"errors":[{"message":"Over capacity","code":130}]}

And then it redirects to https://twitter.com/logout/error

Musk unplugged one too many racks in their datacenter?

Funnily enough, their API status page still reports all green:

I suspect that the services responsible for detecting outages were among those that got nixed

So, traditionally, AWS's status page only grudgingly updates from green tick to green tick with information box after about half an hour of people complaining about AWS problems on Twitter.

Which raises the question; if Twitter is down, will any status pages ever be updated again?

Those status pages are useless these days. Basically everyone always says stuff is running fine, even when they have total outages.

     status pages are useless these days

Now there is a start-up idea to use Ai. Report on the misalignment of reality to document dashboard status. Picture a second or third opinion as a service.
