The outage peaked at 09:17 PM IST, when as many as 701 users reported it (globally) on Down Detector. Of the total reports, 49% users faced issues with the website, while 39% faced a problem with the server connection.

The official website mentions issues like the inability to view or save changes, failure with general knowledge queries, and a non-responsive application.

During this time, we were also unable to download designs from Canva. Despite having an optimal connection speed, Canva didn’t allow us to save or download designs either. The download button wasn’t showing up.
