Is Runway down?
Runway looks healthy. The official status page reports all systems operational and our independent checks are passing.
Runwaydown detector & server status
Is Runway down or not working right now? This live Runway down detector combines Runway's official status feed, our own independent checks, and first-party user reports — and shows whether it's the RunwayAPI, the app, or a specific capability that's affected, plus the upstream AI provider it depends on. Use it to tell whether Runwayis having an outage today, and whether it's down for everyone or just you.
The measured Runway record
Across 8,639 independent checks over the last 30 days, Runway was fully operational 98.8% of the time; 102 found it degraded. The most recent recorded Runway incident was a minor on 2026-11-03 (resolved): "Seedance video generations failing or delayed". Typical response time from our US East (Virginia) probe this week is 772ms (p90 1032ms, over 2,015 checks).

Uptime & history
Tracking since Jun 22, 2026% of our checks that found Runway 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.

How Runway fails
Since Aug 12, 2026, Runway's status page has marked 3 Runway components as impaired, across 322 of our five-minute readings. Backend accounts for the most: 180 readings (about 15 hours) on 5 days, most recently on Nov 2, 2026. Next is App, with 121 readings on 4 days. We hold 53 Runway incidents from Runway's status page, the earliest from Oct 20, 2025. Of the 52 that Runway closed with an end time, the median lasted 1 h 30 min.
| Component | Outage | Degraded | Maint. | Days | Last |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Backend | — | 180 | 4 | 5 | Nov 2, 2026 |
| App | — | 121 | 4 | 4 | Nov 2, 2026 |

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