How do I troubleshoot Coinbase issues?

  1. 1

    Check your internet connection

    Switch between WiFi and mobile data to rule out local connectivity issues before assuming Coinbase is down.

  2. 2

    Update the Coinbase app

    Outdated app versions can cause trading errors. Check the App Store or Google Play for the latest Coinbase update.

  3. 3

    Try Coinbase Pro or Advanced Trade

    If the main Coinbase app isn't working, try Coinbase Pro or Advanced Trade which run on separate infrastructure.

  4. 4

    Clear app cache and restart

    On mobile, clear the Coinbase app cache, force-close the app, and restart your device to resolve glitches.

  5. 5

    Check blockchain network status

    Some issues may be blockchain-specific (e.g., Ethereum network congestion). Check network status before blaming Coinbase.

What can I do during a Coinbase outage?

Use another exchange for urgent trades

During Coinbase outages, use Kraken, Binance.US, or Gemini for time-sensitive crypto trades.

Use a self-custody wallet

If you need to move crypto urgently, use a self-custody wallet like MetaMask or Ledger to bypass exchange issues.

Queue non-urgent transactions

If trades or transfers aren't time-sensitive, wait for Coinbase to recover rather than paying higher fees elsewhere.

Monitor recovery via status page

Watch status.coinbase.com or API Status Check for updates indicating when Coinbase service is restored.
