## Updates from Cloudflare
### 2026-10-18 08:50 UTC: resolved
Due to unexpected prefix withdrawals on peering links in IAD and CMH (Ashburn, Virginia and Columbus, Ohio, in the United States) on an external provider, customers experienced increased latency and timeouts from 08:00 to 08:50 UTC. Services have fully normalized following the restoration of prefix advertisements.
