Despite extensive efforts to reach out to Apple about this issue we still do not have a resolution from them. As this incident has been ongoing for over a month, we have decided to move towards displaying a warning message on sign in from development instance when apple emails are used to sign in and taking down this incident notification. We apologize for the inconvenience and genuinely hope that we hear back from Apple soon on this matter.

Clerk Down? Try These Steps
- Check the official Clerk status page for announcements

- Set up automated monitoring so you know before your users do — Better Stack monitors every 30 seconds
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.
