Notion Status: Is Notion Down Right Now?
Use this Notion status guide to confirm outages fast, troubleshoot workspace, database, or API issues, and get real-time monitoring for the moment Notion goes down.
Quick Notion Status Checklist
- 1. Check official status updates.
- 2. Confirm with community reports.
- 3. Verify with independent monitoring.
- 4. Try a second device or network.
Check the official Notion status page
Notion posts incident updates, degraded service notices, and maintenance windows on its official status dashboard.
status.notion.soLook for community reports
Crowd-sourced signals can confirm widespread workspace access failures, sync errors, or database loading issues.
Downdetector reportsVerify with independent monitoring
Use API Status Check for third-party monitoring that verifies real endpoints and tracks historical incidents.
Notion on API Status CheckCommon Notion Issues During Outages
Workspace loading failures
Users may see infinite loading spinners, 'Failed to load' errors, or blank workspaces during outages.
Database sync errors
Changes may not sync across devices, or databases may fail to load properties and relations properly.
API rate limiting or timeouts
Developers may encounter 429 (rate limit) or 500/503 errors when the Notion API is under stress or degraded.
Synced blocks and integrations failing
Synced blocks may not update, and third-party integrations like Zapier or Make may fail to trigger during outages.
Troubleshooting Steps Before You Assume Notion Is Down
- 1
Refresh and clear cache
Hard refresh your browser (Cmd+Shift+R or Ctrl+Shift+R) or clear the app cache to rule out local issues.
- 2
Check workspace permissions
Verify you have access to the workspace and that your account hasn't been removed or permissions changed.
- 3
Try the mobile app or web
If the desktop app is unresponsive, try accessing Notion via the mobile app or web browser.
- 4
Verify API credentials
For API users: confirm your integration token is valid and has the necessary permissions for the workspace.
- 5
Check network connectivity
Ensure you're connected to the internet and that firewalls or VPNs aren't blocking Notion's servers.
Real-Time Notion Monitoring
API Status Check tracks Notion status with independent monitoring, uptime stats, and incident history so you can confirm outages quickly.
Independent Notion status checks
API Status Check performs independent monitoring so you can verify Notion status even if official updates are delayed.
Incident history and uptime data
Review recent incidents, response times, and reliability trends to understand Notion stability.
Real-time alerts and integrations
Get notified with email alerts, RSS feeds, and webhooks when Notion experiences a new incident.
Alternative Solutions During Notion Outages
Use offline mode temporarily
Notion's desktop and mobile apps cache recent pages, allowing limited read-only access during outages.
Export critical data as backup
Regularly export important databases and pages as Markdown or CSV to have offline access during incidents.
Queue API requests with retry logic
If your integration depends on the API, implement exponential backoff to retry failed requests once service recovers.
Monitor recovery via API Status Check
Set up alerts to get notified the moment Notion recovers from an outage.
Get notified when Notion is back up
No account needed. We will email you once and thats it.
Notion Status FAQ
Is Notion down right now?
Check status.notion.so and API Status Check for independent monitoring. If both show incidents, Notion is likely down for many users.
Why won't my Notion workspace load?
This often indicates a server-side issue. Try refreshing, clearing cache, or switching devices. Check the status page for active incidents.
Is the Notion API down?
API outages show as 5xx errors or timeouts. Check status.notion.so for API-specific incidents and implement retry logic in your integrations.
Why aren't my databases syncing?
Sync issues can occur during degraded performance. Check your internet connection first, then verify Notion's status for sync-related incidents.
Does Notion have offline mode?
Yes, desktop and mobile apps cache recent pages for read-only access, but new changes won't sync until connectivity is restored.
How can I get Notion outage alerts?
Subscribe to alerts on API Status Check to receive real-time notifications when Notion or its API has an incident.
