Twitter was down for about 9,000 users in the United States at 5pm Eastern time, according to outage tracking website Downdetector.com. The number of outages declined to 2,500 by 6pm Eastern.

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."
