On May 30, 2025, Netflix experienced a significant service disruption across the United States, leaving tens of thousands of users unable to stream content. The outage began around 9:30 p.m. ET, with over 75,000 reports logged on Downdetector. Approximately 85% of affected users encountered error code E100, which typically signifies a data issue on the device but, given its widespread occurrence, appeared to stem from a problem on Netflix's end.

The most commonly reported issue was an error message stating, "This title is not available to watch instantly." The surge in problem reports prompted Netflix to update its status page, acknowledging the streaming disruptions and confirming that users might experience difficulty with some titles. While the outage primarily affected users in the United States, reports indicated that users in other regions, including India, did not experience significant disruptions.

Social media platforms were flooded with frustrated users expressing their concerns and seeking updates on the situation. Many reported error messages and an inability to stream content, with hashtags like #NetflixDown and #NetflixCrash trending on platforms like X (formerly Twitter).

As of now, Netflix has not released an official explanation for the outage, leaving subscribers awaiting clarity and resumption of service. For users seeking alternative streaming options during such outages, devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite or the Google Chromecast Digital Multimedia Receiver can provide access to a variety of streaming services.
