The dashboard used by community managers and journalists was “experiencing outages” in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
“You might have had trouble Tweeting, getting notifications, or viewing DMs,” Twitter Support alerted on the social network.
We've been experiencing outages across Twitter and TweetDeck. You might have had trouble Tweeting, getting notifications, or viewing DMs. We're currently working on a fix, and should be back to normal soon.

It’s not completely clear what the problem is, but Twitter is “working on a fix”.
The downtime comes just after the company rolled out DM searching to iOS users, but we doubt the two are correlated.
