They state it's scheduled maintenance but the dashboard link leads to a 500 return. https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/

Don't deploy on Friday!
Although I'm sure there are people working at Cloudflare 24/7.
Ya come on, you're gonna interrupt someone's 48 hour goon session!
They were responding to the React.js vulnerability which is a 10/10 severity, sky is falling event so there really was little choice.
This is more likely the actual incident report:

That one took out fontawesome at my work, I'm really inclined to move it and be done with it.
They have the world’s internet by the balls, and this weakness has really become apparent lately. This one looks like it may be even worse, as the 500’s are at a higher level. Not even branded custom error pages now.
We need more providers to offer services similar to Cloudflare.
Bunny.net is an example, it's an European company.
They have many competitors, some with a ton of overlap in offers, like Akamai. But Cloudflare has been pretty competitive for a long time and I think that over relaxation is coming back to bite.
Hahaha uh oh!
If your web service is affected by this, then you are the problem. Cloudflare has proven itself to be highly unreliable. It is a mistake to keep using it.
You're linking to the wrong status page item, the outage was totally unrelated to that maintenance. If you look at cloudflare maintenance history, they do that exact type of maintenance all the time.
The screenshot was before the proper outage was reported and the status was just so people could follow if/when the situation changed
Y'all desperately looking for a reason to screech. Oh God, scheduled maintenance for an hour 🤣
You're an AI.
Yes Daddy.
Ah yes. Half the internet going down for an hour. Planned maintenance so it's ok. No, it's not ok. This is a major infrastructure company. You don't need to bring down your service to perform maintanance. That's only for small businesses for whom it's not worth it to maintain the service up while doing maintainance.
Half the Internet 🤣
I'm sure you can do better from your home lab with uptime guarantees 👍
My home lab:
Y'all 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠
But also Cloudflare confirmed an issue:
