Is Monday.com Down? Complete Status Check Guide + Quick Fixes

Monday.com not loading?
Boards stuck or automations failing?
Can't access your workspace?

TL;DR: If you think Monday.com is down, check the official Monday.com status page and a live monitor first.
If both show operational, the issue is likely local (browser, network, permissions, or integrations).
This guide shows quick checks, fixes, and when to worry if Monday.com is not working.

Quick Check: Is Monday.com Actually Down?

Don't assume it's Monday.com.
Most reports of "Monday.com down" are caused by browser cache, extensions, VPNs, or account-level issues.

60-second triage

1. Open Monday.com in an incognito/private window.
2. Check the official status page.
3. Try a different device or network (mobile hotspot).
4. Confirm if the issue is global or just your workspace.

Fast scope check

If only one user is affected:

• Likely permissions, cookies, extensions, or device-specific cache.

If one workspace is affected:

• Check workspace-level settings, billing status, or API limits.

If multiple workspaces are affected:

• Higher chance of a Monday.com outage or regional issue.

Quick decision tree

Status page operational + only you affected → Local issue
Status page operational + whole team affected → Workspace/account issue
Status page degraded + many reports → Monday.com incident likely

Quick Fixes

Fix #1: Try a clean browser session

Why it works: Clears stale cookies and cached scripts.

Steps:

1. Open an incognito/private window
2. Log in to Monday.com
3. Test the problem board or action

If it works:

• Clear Monday.com cookies in your main browser
• Disable conflicting extensions

Fix #3: Disable browser extensions

Common culprits:

• Ad blockers (uBlock, AdBlock Plus)
• Privacy extensions (Privacy Badger)
• Script blockers
• VPN extensions

Test:

• Disable all extensions
• Re-enable one at a time to identify the issue

---

Fix #4: Update your browser

Outdated browsers break Monday.com UI components.

Do this:

• Update Chrome/Edge/Firefox/Safari to the latest version
• Restart the browser after update
• Monday.com officially supports Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge

---

Fix #5: Test another network

Why: Corporate networks can block WebSocket connections Monday.com needs.

Try:

• Mobile hotspot
• Home WiFi
• Guest network

If it works on another network:

• Ask IT to allowlist Monday.com domains
• Check firewall or proxy rules for WebSocket support

---

Fix #6: Check third-party cookies

Monday.com relies on cookies for authentication and real-time sync.

Steps:

1. Allow third-party cookies for monday.com domains
2. Disable strict tracking prevention temporarily
3. Retry login or board loading

---

Fix #7: Reduce board complexity

If boards are slow:

• Archive old items (move to archive group)
• Split large boards into multiple boards
• Remove unused mirror columns
• Simplify formula columns
• Use views with filters instead of loading everything

---

Fix #8: Check automation quota

If automations stop running:

• Go to Admin → Usage → Automations
• Check remaining actions this month
• Upgrade plan or disable low-priority automations
• Wait for quota reset (monthly)

---

Fix #9: Re-authenticate integrations

If integrations fail:

• Go to the integration settings
• Disconnect and reconnect
• Re-authorize with fresh OAuth tokens
• Verify the third-party service is also up

---

Fix #10: Force refresh (bypass cache)

Windows/Linux: Ctrl + Shift + R
Mac: Cmd + Shift + R

Why: Forces the browser to reload all assets from server, bypassing cache.

---

Fix #11: Check workspace billing

Why: Expired trials or lapsed billing can lock you out.

Verify:

• Active subscription in Admin → Billing
• Payment method is valid
• No pending invoices

---

Fix #12: Flush DNS (last resort)

Windows:

ipconfig /flushdns

Mac:

sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder

Why: Clears stale DNS records that can break access to Monday.com.

---

Fix #13: Try the mobile app

Why: Isolates whether it's a browser-specific issue.

Steps:

1. Open the Monday.com mobile app
2. Check if your boards load
3. If mobile works, the issue is browser-side

---

Fix #14: Check API rate limits

For developers/integrations:

• Monday.com API limit: 5,000 requests/minute
• Check response headers for remaining quota
• Implement exponential backoff
• Use pagination for large queries

---

Fix #15: Clear local storage (advanced)

Why: Corrupted local storage can break Monday.com UI components.

Chrome/Edge:

1. Open DevTools (F12)
2. Application → Storage → Clear site data
3. Refresh Monday.com

When to worry

Signs it's a real outage
