Is ClickUp Down? Complete Status Check Guide + Quick Fixes

ClickUp not loading?
Tasks disappearing or views broken?
Automations stopped running?

TL;DR: If you think ClickUp is down, check the official ClickUp status page and a live monitor first.
If both show operational, the issue is likely local (browser cache, extensions, account settings, or network).
This guide covers quick checks, fixes, and when to worry if ClickUp is not working.

Quick Check: Is ClickUp Actually Down?

Don't assume it's ClickUp.
Most "ClickUp down" reports are caused by browser cache issues, heavy workspaces, extension conflicts, or network problems.

60-second triage

1. Check the ClickUp status page.
2. Try ClickUp in an incognito window.
3. Test the mobile app or desktop app.
4. Try a different network.

Quick decision tree

Status page operational + only you affected → Local/browser issue
Status page operational + whole team affected → Workspace/SSO issue
Status page degraded + many reports → ClickUp incident likely
