Check the official X status page
X (formerly Twitter) posts incident updates, degraded service notices, and API maintenance windows on its official status dashboard.
api.twitterstat.usLook for community reports
Crowd-sourced signals can confirm widespread timeline failures, posting errors, or API rate limiting issues.
Downdetector reportsCheck if trending topics are working
If trending topics aren't updating or showing errors, it's often a sign of platform-wide issues affecting X's recommendation systems.
X Explore pageWhat happens when Twitter/X goes down?
Timeline not loading or refreshing
Users may see blank timelines, infinite loading spinners, or stale tweets that won't refresh during outages.
API rate limiting and 429 errors
Developers may encounter sudden rate limits, 429 errors, or API access issues when X is under stress or implementing new restrictions.
Posting failures and tweet delays
Tweets may fail to post, get stuck in 'sending' state, or take minutes to appear on timelines during platform issues.
DMs and notifications not working
Direct messages may fail to send or load, and push notifications may be delayed or missing during outages.
How do I troubleshoot Twitter/X issues?
- 1
Refresh and clear cache
Force refresh your browser (Cmd+Shift+R or Ctrl+Shift+R) or clear your X app cache to rule out local issues.
- 2
Check the X API status
For developers: verify API status separately. Sometimes the web app works while the API is degraded, or vice versa.
- 3
Try a different device or network
Switch between mobile and desktop, or try a different WiFi/cellular network to isolate connection issues.
- 4
Check for rate limit notices
X sometimes implements temporary rate limits. Look for 'rate limit exceeded' messages or check if you've hit daily limits.
- 5
Test with TweetDeck or third-party clients
If available, try TweetDeck or other X clients — sometimes alternative interfaces remain functional during partial outages.
Real-Time Twitter/X Monitoring
API Status Check tracks Twitter/X status with official status page links, community outage reports, and incident history so you can confirm outages quickly.
Official X/Twitter status, in one place
API Status Check links the official X status page and keeps a history of reported incidents. We do not run our own probes against X yet.
Reported incident history
Review previously reported incidents and outage patterns to understand X platform stability.
Alerts for the APIs we monitor
Alert Pro emails cover the 60+ APIs we poll every hour. X is not one of them yet, so subscribe to its official status page for incident notices.
What can I do during a Twitter/X outage?
Use X Lite or mobile web
During X outages, the lightweight mobile web version at mobile.twitter.com may remain functional when the main app is down.
Check X on a different platform
If iOS app is down, try Android or web. Platform-specific issues are common, especially after updates.
Queue non-urgent tweets
If you manage accounts or scheduled posts, save your content and wait for the outage to resolve before posting.
Confirm recovery on the official status page
Watch the official status page to see the moment X recovers from an outage.

Frequently asked questions about Twitter/X status
Is Twitter/X down right now?
Check api.twitterstat.us and Downdetector for real-time reports. If both show incidents and you can't load X, it's likely down for many users.
Why is my X timeline not loading?
This usually indicates a server-side issue. Try refreshing, clearing cache, or waiting a few minutes during peak usage or outages.
Is the X API down?
API outages show as 429 (rate limit) or 5xx errors. Check api.twitterstat.us for API-specific incidents and implement retry logic in your code.
Why can't I post tweets?
Posting failures often indicate degraded performance or rate limiting. Check your account limits and verify X status before retrying.
Does X have more outages since the rebrand?
Outage frequency varies. Use API Status Check to track historical uptime and incident trends over time.
How can I get X outage alerts?
Subscribe to alerts on API Status Check to receive real-time notifications when X experiences a new incident.
