Chroma looks healthy. The official status page reports all systems operational and our independent checks are passing.
Chromadown detector & server status
Is Chroma down or not working right now? This live Chroma down detector combines Chroma's official status feed, our own independent checks, and first-party user reports — and shows whether it's the ChromaAPI, the app, or a specific capability that's affected, plus the upstream AI provider it depends on. Use it to tell whether Chromais having an outage today, and whether it's down for everyone or just you.
Crowd signal — your reports, not our automated checks.

Uptime & history
Tracking since Jun 22, 2026% of our checks that found Chroma fully operational — a degraded check counts against it, because a slow or partly-broken service is not a working one. Down and degraded time are counted at our 5-minute check resolution, so both are approximate. Longer windows fill in as data accrues — we never show uptime we haven't measured.

What this page can and can't tell you
- How we decide. We combine Chroma'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 Chroma'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 Chroma API can fail while the app is fine. The capability panel breaks it down.
- Green doesn't mean everyone. If our check reaches Chromabut you can't, the problem is more likely local: your network, a VPN, browser extensions, or cache.
Frequently asked
Is Chroma down right now?+
Right now, Chroma appears to be operational. Chroma looks healthy. The official status page reports all systems operational and our independent checks are passing.
Is there a Chroma down detector?+
Yes — this page is a live Chroma down detector. It combines Chroma'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. Chroma is currently operational. We only show signals we can actually verify — never invented report totals.
Is there a Chroma outage today?+
No active Chroma outage is detected right now — it appears operational. For past incidents and dated outage recaps, see Chroma's status history below.
What is Chroma's server status and API status right now?+
Chroma is currently operational. Server status and API status aren't always the same — the Chroma 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 Chroma API down? (Chroma API status)+
Check the API row in the capability panel above — Chroma is currently operational overall, but the API can carry its own status. For developers, "Chroma API status" problems usually surface here first, because we read Chroma's own status feed and watch the API surface directly.
Why is Chroma slow or not working?+
Common causes are an upstream provider incident, API rate limits during peak demand, a regional CDN issue, or maintenance. Chroma 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 Chroma down for everyone or just me?+
We check Chroma from our own servers, independent of your device or network, and combine that with Chroma's official feed and user reports. If our independent check reaches Chroma 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, Chroma is down for everyone.
How can I tell if it's Chroma or my own connection?+
AIDownCheck runs an independent reachability check from our own servers, separate from Chroma'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 Chroma's side.
What can I use while Chroma is down?+
Good alternatives include Pinecone, Qdrant. We track their live status too, so you can switch to one that's currently operational.
Where is Chroma's official status page?+
Chroma's official status page is at https://status.trychroma.com. AIDownCheck reads it automatically and combines it with our own checks — so you get the answer without juggling tabs.
