Plaid Down? Try These Steps

  1. Check the official Plaid status page for announcements
  2. Try refreshing your browser or clearing cache
  3. Check your internet connection
  4. Try accessing from a different network or VPN
  5. Check social media for reports from other users
  6. Set up automated monitoring so you know before your users do — Better Stack monitors every 30 seconds

Is Plaid down for everyone or just me?

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

  1. Check the status indicator above — if this page shows a major outage, it's confirmed global.
  2. Try a different device or network — if it works on mobile data but not Wi-Fi, it's likely a local network issue, not Plaid.
  3. Clear cache and cookies — browser issues can mimic service outages.
  4. Check community reports — Downdetector and social media will show whether hundreds of other users are reporting the same issue.
  5. 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.
