Yes. On November 11, 2026, every xcancel.com address returned HTTP 451 with the notice “XCancel service is suspended.” The notice says the service had to stop again because of a new development in ongoing legal proceedings, and that the suspension lasts until further notice. nitter.net shows a notice from its developer instead of posts.
