Welcome to the Cloudflare Community.

Unfortunately, there’s an active Incident affecting the API and Tunnels: Cloudflare Status - Cloudflare Dashboard and Cloudflare API service issues .
When that is resolved, you should have no issues starting Quick Tunnels. You can check that post for more updates and information.

Thank you so much @Chaika for the quick response, will keep checking the status,
any idea how long it usually takes to fix?

This is the first time I’ve seen of a core outage at Cloudflare of such magnitude, at least within the last few years I’ve followed Cloudflare. So there’s no “usual” here, lots of unknowns, I’m sure they’re working to get things up the fastest they can.

The last update with new information was:

Power to Cloudflare’s core North America data center has been partially restored. Cloudflare has failed over some core services to a backup data center, which has partially remediated impact. Cloudflare is currently working to restore the remaining affected services and bring the core North America data center back online.

This must be one of the biggest Cloudflare outages ever, I’ve been trying to create a tunnel to my server since last night, and no luck.
It seems that most services are getting restored, let’s appreciate the work of Cloudflare Devs who spent the last 20 hours bringing back services, imagine the amount of pressure they’re under right now!
