It appears that the issue is only limited to the ‘Reply’ function. Users clarified (1,2) that other functions like ‘Tweet’ and ‘Quote Tweet’ are working completely fine.

The problem affects some of the core functions of the platform and prevents users from creating threads, sharing their opinion and interacting with others.

Fortunately, Twitter is already aware of the ‘Failed to send’ issue and is currently investigating it. But they did not share any ETA for the fix.

Sorry for the trouble. Our team is aware and looking into this. We’ll reach out if we have any questions.
