Frequently asked
Is Grok down right now?+
Right now, Grok appears to be operational. We couldn't read Grok's official status page, but our independent checks can reach it, so it appears to be working.
How can I tell if it's Grok or my own connection?+
AIDownCheck runs an independent reachability check from our own servers, separate from Grok'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 Grok's side.
Why is Grok slow or not working?+
Common causes are an upstream provider incident, API rate limits during peak demand, a regional CDN issue, or maintenance. Grok 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.
What can I use while Grok is down?+
Good alternatives include ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini. We track their live status too, so you can switch to one that's currently operational.
