The Matrix.org homeserver ^[2] is currently experiencing a "major outage" ^[1.1] — the server is currently offline ^[1.3]. The timeline of events is currently (2025-09-03T00:14Z) as follows:

• On 2025-09-02T17:39Z, an issue with the matrix.org database was reported by status.matrix.org ^[1.3].
• At 2025-09-02T19:01:27Z, the Matrix.org Foundation later reported that the matrix.org secondary database lost its filesystem at 2025-09-02T11:17Z, and subsequently lost its primary database filesystem at 2025-09-02T17:26Z. ^[5]
• At 2025-09-02T21:39:25Z, the Matrix.org Foundation reported that they were unable to restore the primary database filesystem, so they are restoring a 55TB database snapshot from the previous night. This restoration is expected to take more than 10 hours to recover the data, then greater than 4 hours to restore the data, then greater than 3 hours to catch up on missing traffic. ^[6]
