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

Performance
●Normal speedIs it slower than its own normal? A status page won't tell you — we measure it.

13,002reachable 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 (~648 ms typical).
Uptime & history
Tracking since Jun 22, 2026% of our checks that found Poe 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 Poe'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 Quora'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 Quora's systems. When our dependency graph points upstream, at OpenAI or Anthropic, 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 Poe API can fail while the app is fine. The capability panel breaks it down.
- Green doesn't mean everyone. If our check reaches Poebut you can't, the problem is more likely local: your network, a VPN, browser extensions, or cache.
Frequently asked
Is Poe down right now?+
Right now, Poe appears to be operational. Poe looks healthy. The official status page reports all systems operational and our independent checks are passing.
Is there a Poe down detector?+
Yes — this page is a live Poe down detector. It combines Poe'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. Poe is currently operational. We only show signals we can actually verify — never invented report totals.
Is there a Poe outage today?+
No active Poe outage is detected right now — it appears operational. For past incidents and dated outage recaps, see Poe's status history below.
What is Poe's server status and API status right now?+
Poe is currently operational. Server status and API status aren't always the same — the Poe 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. Poe depends on OpenAI and Anthropic, so an incident there can cascade to Poe and other AI tools at the same time.
Is the Poe API down? (Quora API status)+
Check the API row in the capability panel above — Poe is currently operational overall, but the API can carry its own status. For developers, "Quora API status" problems usually surface here first, because we read Quora's own status feed and watch the API surface directly. Poe depends on OpenAI and Anthropic, so an incident there can cascade to Poe and other AI tools at the same time.
Why is Poe slow or not working?+
Common causes are an upstream provider incident, API rate limits during peak demand, a regional CDN issue, or maintenance. Poe 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. Poe depends on OpenAI and Anthropic, so an incident there can cascade to Poe and other AI tools at the same time.
Is Poe down for everyone or just me?+
We check Poe from our own servers, independent of your device or network, and combine that with Quora's official feed and user reports. If our independent check reaches Poe 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, Poe is down for everyone.
How can I tell if it's Poe or my own connection?+
AIDownCheck runs an independent reachability check from our own servers, separate from Poe'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 Poe's side.
What can I use while Poe is down?+
Good alternatives include ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity. We track their live status too, so you can switch to one that's currently operational.
Where is Poe's official status page?+
Poe's official status page is at https://status.poe.com. AIDownCheck reads it automatically and combines it with our own checks — so you get the answer without juggling tabs.
