AWS says it has fixed the problem that crippled half the internet but many popular apps are still down

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has said that it has fixed the underlying issue which caused the outage for most of the popular websites like Perplexity, Reddit, Snapchat, Hinge and more.

“The underlying DNS issue has been fully mitigated, and most AWS Service operations are succeeding normally now. Some requests may be throttled while we work toward full resolution.” AWS said in a status page.

While some services like Perplexity, Robinhood and British tax authority HRMC said that the outage was resolved. Many other services like Reddit and Snapchat are still getting back on their feet.

In a post on X, Srinivas confirmed that Perplexity is back online, he wrote, “Perplexity and Comet are back up running and stable for the last two hours. Thanks for waiting!”
