Oracle, meanwhile, added that the company had seen reports from customers that they were "intermittently experiencing connection timeouts, errors, and increased latency" with its data center in Ashburn, Virginia.

The issues, Oracle states in an event analysis, were related to the Oracle Cloud Network Infrastructure. Problems began at 13:24 UTC on March 3, and were resolved by 09:18 UTC on March 4.

According to the company's status page, all systems are now operational.

This is not the first issue TikTok has experienced since the official establishment of its TikTok USDS JV, which was finalized in January of this year. Just one week after being formalized, an Oracle data center suffered a power outage.
