Due to sudden massive traffic, people were met with server issues and the Co-WIN website remained unresponsive after several minutes of the registration going live. According to several users online, the Co-WIN website had been unresponsive even before the clock struck 4PM. At the same time, many reported an OTP issue with the Aarogya Setu app as well. On Aarogya Setu, a message appears saying, “There is some error logging you in” when users enter the OTP they received for logging in to the Co-WIN platform on the Aarogya Setu app. For some, the Co-WIN website did not open or showed a server error, some reported a 504 gateway timeout. While the exact issue is known , it is being speculated that the massive traffic on the website is what led to the outage.
