-
Heavy load on server – The joining of millions of users simultaneously led to excessive pressure on the server, which either slowed down or stalled the system.

Technical fault – It is possible that it has been outage due to a software bug, wrong update, or other technical problem.

Connectivity Issues – Connectivity disturbances between the Internet or server can also cause such a problem.
