Global streaming service Netflix was down for thousands of users in the United States, with many reporting an error code E-100, which displayed a “title not available to watch instantly” message. Outage tracking website DownDetector received over 75,000 reports of the streaming service facing issues.

According to a Netflix Help Center page, the E-100 error occurs “when an issue with data stored on your device stops Netflix from playing.” However, given the scale of the outage, it’s likely that the issue stems from Netflix’s end rather than from individual users.

“Trying to watch Netflix and every title I click on says that the title is not available. I just signed up on the 6th of this month. I’ve done every troubleshooting trick that I can think of and it’s still not working. Not even on my phone. ?” wrote one user on the DownDetector comment section.
