// User impact

Cloudflare Access users likely saw failed connections, degraded availability, or session instability for this Security service. The incident reached Minor severity and lasted 9h 42m. The stored report window does not show a preserved user-report spike.

// What happened

Cloudflare’s official status page is reporting a major incident: “Degraded latency for Durable Objects and R2 buckets in WNAM,” and it’s still under investigation. That points to a component-specific problem rather than a broad Cloudflare Access outage, and current signals around Access itself are quiet (no user reports, DNS resolving normally, and no notable regional network anomalies). Overall, indications of an Access-specific issue are mixed and low-confidence, with the clearest confirmed impact limited to Durable Objects and R2 in WNAM.
