Check the official Linear status page

Linear posts incident updates, degraded performance notices, and API issues on its official status dashboard.

status.linear.app

Look for community reports

Crowd-sourced signals can confirm widespread UI issues, sync failures, or API rate limiting problems.

Downdetector reports

Verify with independent monitoring

Use API Status Check for third-party monitoring that verifies real endpoints and tracks historical incidents.

Common Linear Issues During Outages

UI loading failures or blank screens

The Linear interface may fail to load, display blank pages, or show infinite loading spinners during outages.

API rate limiting or timeout errors

Developers may encounter 429 rate limit errors, 5xx server errors, or request timeouts when the API is degraded.

Sync failures with integrations

GitHub, Slack, or other integrations may fail to sync issues, comments, or status updates during incidents.

Notification delays or failures

Email or Slack notifications may be delayed, duplicated, or fail to send during service disruptions.

Troubleshooting Steps Before You Assume Linear Is Down

  1. 1

    Refresh and clear cache

    Hard-refresh the browser (Cmd+Shift+R or Ctrl+Shift+R) to eliminate cached assets causing display issues.

  2. 2

    Check your API key and rate limits

    For API users: verify your API key is valid and you haven't hit rate limits. Linear limits vary by plan.

  3. 3

    Test with GraphQL playground

    Use Linear's GraphQL API explorer to isolate whether the issue is with your integration or Linear's API.

  4. 4

    Verify integration webhooks

    Check webhook logs to confirm whether sync issues are due to Linear downtime or webhook configuration errors.

  5. 5

    Try the mobile app

    The Linear mobile app sometimes remains functional when the web interface is experiencing issues.

Real-Time Linear Monitoring

API Status Check tracks Linear status with independent monitoring, uptime stats, and incident history so you can confirm outages quickly.

  • Independent Linear status checks

    API Status Check performs independent monitoring so you can verify Linear status even if official updates are delayed.

  • Incident history and uptime data

    Review recent incidents, API response times, and reliability trends to understand Linear stability.

  • Real-time alerts and integrations

    Get notified with email alerts, RSS feeds, and webhooks when Linear experiences a new incident.

Alternative Solutions During Linear Outages

Use offline mode or cache

Linear's desktop app caches recent data. Use offline mode to view and edit issues during outages.

Queue API requests

If your app depends on the Linear API, implement a queue to retry requests once the service recovers.

Switch to GitHub Issues temporarily

If Linear-GitHub sync is down, create issues directly in GitHub and sync them back once Linear recovers.

Monitor recovery via API Status Check

Set up alerts to get notified the moment Linear recovers from an outage.

Get notified when Linear is back up

No account needed. We will email you once and thats it.

Linear Status FAQ

Is Linear down right now?

Check status.linear.app and API Status Check for independent monitoring. If both show incidents, Linear is likely down for many users.

Why is Linear not loading?

Clear your browser cache and check the status page. If the UI fails to load across devices, it's likely a Linear infrastructure issue.

Is the Linear API down?

API outages show as 5xx errors or timeouts. Check status.linear.app for API-specific incidents and implement retry logic in your code.

Why aren't my Linear integrations syncing?

Integration failures often indicate degraded performance or webhook delivery issues. Check Linear's status page for integration-related incidents.

Does Linear have an uptime SLA?

Linear does not publicly advertise SLAs for standard plans. Enterprise customers may have custom agreements.
