What is happening

  1. The failure is no longer limited to individual countries: every vantage point sees it.

  2. The picture has changed: was "failure in some countries", now "errors and delays". Affected: t.me links.

  3. The failure is visible from these countries: India. The list changes as measurements come in.

  5. The problem is back: t.me links. This is episode 6 of the same incident — the previous one closed less than an hour ago, so we are not opening a separate record. The component keeps flapping.

  9. Confirmed by 2 independent vantage points. Telegram is responding with errors: t.me links. Some requests go through and some do not, which is why it works for some people and not for others. If a message fails to send, try again in a minute; there is no need to reinstall the app.

  10. The problem is back: t.me links. This is episode 2 of the same incident — the previous one closed less than an hour ago, so we are not opening a separate record. The component keeps flapping.

  11. Recovered: t.me links have been responding normally for 5 cycles in a row. The incident lasted 5 min. If it still does not work for you, the cause is no longer Telegram.

  12. We are seeing signs of trouble: t.me links. So far only one vantage point out of three reports it, so we are not calling it an outage — we are checking. If Telegram does not open for you, wait a few minutes and try again.
