What should I do when Clerk is down?

When Clerk is down: (1) Check the official status page for incident updates and estimated resolution time. (2) Confirm the issue is not local — test on another device or network. (3) If you're a developer, implement exponential backoff retry logic instead of hammering the API. (4) Subscribe to outage alerts on this page so you're notified the moment Clerk recovers. (5) Consider a fallback or alternative service for critical workloads.

Is Clerk Down?

Q: Is Clerk down for everyone or just me?

To confirm whether it's a global Clerk outage or an issue isolated to your account: (1) Check the current status indicator at the top of this page — if we show a major outage, it's affecting all users. (2) Try accessing Clerk from a different device or network to rule out local issues. (3) Clear your browser cache and cookies, then retry. (4) Check community reports on Downdetector or social media for other users reporting the same problem. If the service fails on multiple devices and networks, it's down for everyone.

Analytics API I/O timeouts

Jun 9, 09:56 PM — Resolved Jun 9, 10:37 PM

Between 21:21 and 21:56 UTC on June 9, 2026, a portion of requests to our Analytics service failed and Dashboard charts may have failed to load. The cause was a database connection that had been silently closed upstream but was still being reused by our connection pool. We resolved the issue at 21:56 UTC. No data was lost. To prevent recurrence, we are rolling out a change to detect and self-heal from such failures. We apologize for the disruption

Is Clerk down for everyone or just me?

To determine whether it's a widespread Clerk outage or a problem specific to your account or location:

Check the status indicator above — if this page shows a major outage, it's confirmed global.
Try a different device or network — if it works on mobile data but not Wi-Fi, it's likely a local network issue, not Clerk.
Clear cache and cookies — browser issues can mimic service outages.
Check community reports — Downdetector and social media will show whether hundreds of other users are reporting the same issue.
Test the API directly (for developers) — a raw request returning 5xx errors confirms a service-side outage; a 429 means you've hit your personal rate limit.

Authentication outages are the most critical failure mode

Auth service downtime blocks 100% of users from logging in. Every minute of auth downtime is a complete application outage. Monitor auth endpoints separately with higher-frequency checks.
