“We are investigating reports of degraded performance when transferring data over the public internet between certain cities and provinces in mainland China and origin servers located outside the region. The impact is being reported across multiple internet service providers and manifests as lower speeds or occasional timeouts. Although this congestion is occurring upstream of the Cloudflare network, our engineering team is actively working to mitigate its impact. Occasional 524 timeout errors are expected to continue due to the ongoing congestion. Since full resolution depends on factors outside our network, we do not have a firm timeline, but we are taking steps to reduce the impact on customers.”

Customers experiencing issues can contact Cloudflare Support.”
