Cartesiadown detector & server status
Is Cartesia down or not working right now? This live Cartesia down detector combines Cartesia's official status feed, our own independent checks, and first-party user reports — and shows whether it's the CartesiaAPI, the app, or a specific capability that's affected, plus the upstream AI provider it depends on. Use it to tell whether Cartesiais having an outage today, and whether it's down for everyone or just you.

What this page can and can't tell you
- How we decide. We combine Cartesia's official status feed, our own independent check from US East (Virginia), and first-party reports from readers. The confidence badge shows how many of those signals agree.
- On root cause. We have no visibility inside Cartesia's systems. We report what the signals show rather than guessing at an internal cause.
- Outages are rarely all-or-nothing. Some are regional. Some hit one surface while the rest works, so the Cartesia API can fail while the app is fine. The capability panel breaks it down.
- Green doesn't mean everyone. If our check reaches Cartesiabut you can't, the problem is more likely local: your network, a VPN, browser extensions, or cache.
Frequently asked
Is Cartesia down right now?+
Right now, Cartesia appears to be operational. Cartesia looks healthy. The official status page reports all systems operational and our independent checks are passing.
Is there a Cartesia down detector?+
Yes — this page is a live Cartesia down detector. It combines Cartesia's official status feed, our own independent reachability check, first-party user reports, and the AI dependency graph, then shows a confidence level so you can tell a real outage from a local glitch. Cartesia is currently operational. We only show signals we can actually verify — never invented report totals.
Is there a Cartesia outage today?+
No active Cartesia outage is detected right now — it appears operational. For past incidents and dated outage recaps, see Cartesia's status history below.
What is Cartesia's server status and API status right now?+
Cartesia is currently operational. Server status and API status aren't always the same — the Cartesia API can fail while the web app works, or vice-versa. The capability panel on this page breaks status down by surface (API, app, and any image/voice features) so you can see exactly which part is affected.
Is the Cartesia API down? (Cartesia API status)+
Check the API row in the capability panel above — Cartesia is currently operational overall, but the API can carry its own status. For developers, "Cartesia API status" problems usually surface here first, because we read Cartesia's own status feed and watch the API surface directly.
Why is Cartesia slow or not working?+
Common causes are an upstream provider incident, API rate limits during peak demand, a regional CDN issue, or maintenance. Cartesia is currently operational. We show the official status, our independent check, and a confidence level so you can see which signals point to a real problem.
Is Cartesia down for everyone or just me?+
We check Cartesia from our own servers, independent of your device or network, and combine that with Cartesia's official feed and user reports. If our independent check reaches Cartesia but you can't, the problem is most likely local — try a different network, disable a VPN/extensions, or clear your cache. If our check and the official status both show problems, Cartesia is down for everyone.
How can I tell if it's Cartesia or my own connection?+
AIDownCheck runs an independent reachability check from our own servers, separate from Cartesia's official status page. If our check passes but you still can't connect, the problem is more likely local — try a different network, clear your cookies, disable VPN/extensions, or use a different browser. If our check is failing too, it's more likely Cartesia's side.
What can I use while Cartesia is down?+
Good alternatives include ElevenLabs, Deepgram. We track their live status too, so you can switch to one that's currently operational.
Where is Cartesia's official status page?+
Cartesia's official status page is at https://status.cartesia.ai. AIDownCheck reads it automatically and combines it with our own checks — so you get the answer without juggling tabs.
