Bitbucket Status Monitor
Bitbucket Status: Is Bitbucket Down Right Now?
Use this Bitbucket status guide to confirm outages fast, troubleshoot repositories, Pipelines, pull requests, or Bitbucket Cloud issues, and get real-time monitoring for the moment Bitbucket goes down.
Quick Bitbucket Status Checklist
- 1. Check official status updates.
- 2. Confirm with community reports.
- 3. Verify with independent monitoring.
- 4. Try SSH vs HTTPS for Git ops.
Check the official Atlassian status page
Bitbucket is part of Atlassian. The Atlassian status page provides component-level health for Bitbucket Cloud, Pipelines, and related services.
status.atlassian.comLook for community reports
Crowd-sourced reports on Downdetector can confirm whether push errors, Pipelines failures, or login issues are widespread.

Use API Status Check for third-party monitoring that verifies real endpoints and tracks historical incidents.
Bitbucket on API Status CheckCommon Bitbucket Issues During Outages
Git push and pull failures
Repository operations may fail with SSH or HTTPS errors when Bitbucket Git hosting servers are experiencing issues.
Bitbucket Pipelines not running
CI/CD pipelines may fail to trigger, queue indefinitely, or fail with infrastructure errors during Bitbucket Pipelines outages.
Pull request errors
Pull requests may fail to load, show blank diffs, or not allow merges when Bitbucket web services are degraded.
Bitbucket Cloud login issues
Users may be unable to log in to Bitbucket Cloud when Atlassian identity services are experiencing disruptions.
Troubleshooting Steps Before You Assume Bitbucket Is Down
- 1
Check Atlassian status page
Visit status.atlassian.com and filter for Bitbucket-specific components. Pipelines and repository hosting have separate indicators.
- 2
Test SSH vs HTTPS for Git operations
Switch between SSH and HTTPS for push/pull operations. One transport often works during partial connectivity outages.
- 3
Retry failed Pipelines builds
Bitbucket Pipelines jobs that fail due to infrastructure issues can be re-run from the pipeline view without code changes.
- 4
Check your SSH key and permissions
Authentication failures can be confused with outages. Verify your SSH key is added to your Bitbucket account settings.
- 5
Use Bitbucket REST API to verify access
Run a simple API call to api.bitbucket.org to check if the API is reachable even when the web UI is having issues.
Real-Time Bitbucket Monitoring
API Status Check tracks Bitbucket status with independent monitoring, uptime stats, and incident history so you can confirm outages quickly.
Independent Bitbucket status checks
API Status Check performs independent monitoring so you can verify Bitbucket status even if official updates are delayed.
Incident history and uptime data
Review recent incidents, response times, and reliability trends to understand Bitbucket platform stability.
Real-time alerts and integrations
Get notified with email alerts, RSS feeds, and webhooks when Bitbucket experiences a new incident.
Alternative Solutions During Bitbucket Outages
Push to a GitHub mirror
If you maintain a GitHub mirror of your Bitbucket repos, you can work from GitHub during extended Bitbucket outages.
Work from local branches
During outages, keep working locally and accumulate commits. Push everything once the service recovers.
Use Jira as the source of truth
If Bitbucket is down but Jira is up, continue tracking work in Jira and sync code changes when Bitbucket recovers.
Monitor recovery via API Status Check
Set up alerts to get notified the moment Bitbucket services recover from an outage.
Get notified when Bitbucket is back up
No account needed. We will email you once and thats it.
Bitbucket Status FAQ
Is Bitbucket down right now?
Check status.atlassian.com and API Status Check for independent monitoring. Atlassian provides component-level status so you can see exactly which Bitbucket services are affected.
Why can't I push to my Bitbucket repository?
Git push failures show as SSH connection errors or HTTPS 503 responses. Check status.atlassian.com for active incidents and try switching between SSH and HTTPS.
Why are my Bitbucket Pipelines not running?
Pipelines failures can be caused by Atlassian infrastructure issues or runner capacity problems. Check the Atlassian status page specifically for Bitbucket Pipelines component status.
Why can't I load my Bitbucket pull requests?
Pull request loading failures during outages are usually temporary. Wait for the incident to resolve, or try accessing the PR via the Bitbucket REST API as a workaround.
Does a Bitbucket outage affect Jira or Confluence?
Atlassian products share some infrastructure but have independent health. A Bitbucket outage does not automatically mean Jira or Confluence are affected. Check each product on status.atlassian.com.
How can I get Bitbucket outage alerts?
Subscribe to alerts on API Status Check to receive real-time notifications when Bitbucket experiences an incident.
