The bug comes as billionaire owner Elon Musk has slashed Twitter's staff since taking over the company in October, leading to concerns about the viability of the service with fewer engineers.
The Information reported Musk told Twitter employees on Wednesday to pause on new feature development "in favor of maximizing system stability and robustness, especially with the Super Bowl coming up."
