What happens when Windsurf goes down?

Cascade AI not responding

Windsurf's Cascade agentic AI may fail to generate responses, stop mid-task, or show connection errors when the backend is degraded.

Autocomplete not appearing

AI-powered inline code completions may stop appearing or become slow during periods of Codeium API degradation.

Authentication and activation failures

Windsurf may fail to activate your subscription or show "Could not connect" errors when the Codeium identity service has issues.

Model selection errors

Switching between Cascade's available AI models (Claude, GPT-4, etc.) may fail or return errors during backend degradation.

How do I troubleshoot Windsurf issues?

1
Check status.codeium.com for active incidents
Codeium's status page covers Windsurf IDE, Cascade AI, and the underlying Codeium autocomplete API separately.
2
Restart Windsurf IDE
Close and reopen Windsurf. WebSocket connections to the Cascade backend can become stale and a restart usually fixes transient failures.
3
Re-authenticate your Codeium account
Open Windsurf settings, sign out of your Codeium/Windsurf account, and sign back in. Expired authentication tokens are a common cause of AI failures.
4
Check your Windsurf subscription
Verify your Windsurf Pro subscription is active at codeium.com. Trial expirations can silently disable Cascade access.
5
Disable proxy or VPN
Corporate firewalls and VPNs can block Windsurf's connections to the Codeium API. Try adding codeium.com to your allowlist.

What can I do during a Windsurf outage?

Switch to Cursor IDE

Cursor is a direct Windsurf competitor offering similar AI-first code completion and chat. Your VS Code workspace works in both.

Use GitHub Copilot in VS Code

GitHub Copilot integrates directly into VS Code and JetBrains IDEs as a fallback when Windsurf's Cascade AI is unavailable.

Use Continue.dev with another AI provider

Continue.dev lets you configure any LLM provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama) for code completion, bypassing Windsurf entirely.

Monitor recovery via API Status Check

Set up alerts to get notified the moment Windsurf recovers from an outage so you can resume AI-assisted development.

Frequently asked questions about Windsurf status

Is Windsurf down right now?

Check status.codeium.com for the official Windsurf/Codeium status and API Status Check for independent monitoring. If both show incidents, Windsurf is likely experiencing a widespread outage.

Is Windsurf down for everyone or just me?

To check if it's a widespread Windsurf outage or an issue with your account: visit status.codeium.com and look for active incidents in the Windsurf or Cascade rows. Then try restarting the IDE — most transient issues are connection-related. If Cascade fails on a different machine or after a fresh install, and the status page shows an active incident, it's affecting all users. Account-specific issues (expired trial, billing) will only affect your Windsurf session.

Why is Windsurf Cascade not working?

Cascade failures are usually caused by: (1) a Codeium backend outage — check status.codeium.com, (2) an expired Windsurf Pro subscription, (3) a VPN or firewall blocking the Codeium API, or (4) an outdated Windsurf version — update to the latest release.

Is Windsurf by Codeium the same as Codeium autocomplete?

Windsurf is Codeium's standalone AI IDE built on VS Code. Codeium also offers separate extension plugins for VS Code, JetBrains, and other editors. Windsurf includes Cascade (an agentic AI mode) which is exclusive to the Windsurf IDE and not available in the standalone extensions.

What is Cascade in Windsurf?

Cascade is Windsurf's agentic AI that can understand full codebases, make multi-file edits, run terminal commands, and complete complex tasks autonomously. It's similar to Cursor's Composer mode. Cascade requires an active Windsurf Pro subscription and an internet connection.
