Is Grok down?
We couldn't read Grok's official status page, but our independent checks can reach it, so it appears to be working.
Grokdown detector & server status
Is Grok down or not working right now? This live Grok down detector combines xAI's official status feed, our own independent checks, and first-party user reports — and shows whether it's the GrokAPI, the app, or a specific capability that's affected, plus the upstream AI provider it depends on. Use it to tell whether Grokis having an outage today, and whether it's down for everyone or just you.
Crowd signal — your reports, not our automated checks.

13,007reachable checks. The line plots the median of each interval, so one timeout can't spike it, and we lead with the median rather than an average, which a single slow response would skew. Failed checks are excluded: a timeout is not a response time.
Responding normally (~179 ms typical).
Uptime & history
Tracking since Jun 22, 2026% of our checks that found Grok 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.
Check from your location
We test from our server; your browser tests from where you are. Two vantage points beat one.
Recent incidents
No recent incidents reported on Grok's official status page. Historical incident tracking begins once our database is live — for now, see the official status page.
What this page can and can't tell you
- How we decide. We combine xAI'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 xAI's systems. When our dependency graph points upstream, at xAI, we say so. Otherwise 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 Grok API can fail while the app is fine. The capability panel breaks it down.
- Green doesn't mean everyone. If our check reaches Grokbut you can't, the problem is more likely local: your network, a VPN, browser extensions, or cache.
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.
Is there a Grok down detector?+
Yes — this page is a live Grok down detector. It combines Grok'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. Grok is currently operational. We only show signals we can actually verify — never invented report totals.
Is there a Grok outage today?+
No active Grok outage is detected right now — it appears operational. For past incidents and dated outage recaps, see Grok's status history below.
What is Grok's server status and API status right now?+
Grok is currently operational. Server status and API status aren't always the same — the Grok 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. Grok depends on xAI, so an incident there can cascade to Grok and other AI tools at the same time.
Is the Grok API down? (xAI API status)+
Check the API row in the capability panel above — Grok is currently operational overall, but the API can carry its own status. For developers, "xAI API status" problems usually surface here first, because we read xAI's own status feed and watch the API surface directly. Grok depends on xAI, so an incident there can cascade to Grok and other AI tools at the same time.
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. Grok depends on xAI, so an incident there can cascade to Grok and other AI tools at the same time.
Is Grok down for everyone or just me?+
We check Grok from our own servers, independent of your device or network, and combine that with xAI's official feed and user reports. If our independent check reaches Grok 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, Grok is down for everyone.
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.
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.
Where is Grok's official status page?+
Grok's official status page is at https://status.x.ai. AIDownCheck reads it automatically and combines it with our own checks — so you get the answer without juggling tabs.
