I noticed this outage coincided with elevated timeouts in one of our EC2 us-east-1 availability zones.

We had recovery by removing that zone from our Auto Scaling Groups, but I haven't been able to find many others affected online (other than Reddit).

Did anyone else experience something like this?

edit: Our errors started at 13:35 Pacific Time.

No problems from Australia in the last 2 hours (including just now.)

For example https://www.reddit.com/r/menwritingwomen/new/ shows a post from just now (verified the timestamp).

It's 'up' for me but, I'm regularly having problems opening comments and posts.

They've been having lots of crazy errors all week (like e.g. all comments posting 3-4 times, other downtimes, etc.). Something's broken on their end for sure.

i miss the fail whale.

IMO, their javascript UX is awful... impossible to see all the comments in a thread! what sort of nonsense is that?

old.reddit.com ftw

It's just a white page for me in Japan.
