What is happening

   Recovered: t.me links have been responding normally for 5 cycles in a row. The incident lasted 9 min. If it still does not work for you, the cause is no longer Telegram.

   Confirmed: Telegram is responding with errors — t.me links. It works for some people and not for others: some requests go through, some are lost. If a message fails to send, try again in a minute. No need to reinstall the app.

   Looks like trouble is starting: t.me links. We are checking. If Telegram does not open for you, wait a few minutes and try again.

What it was

We do not name a cause: we have availability measurements, not access to Telegram's infrastructure.
