Check the official X status page

X posts real-time incident updates, API maintenance windows, and degraded service notices on its official status dashboard at api.twitterstat.us.

Look for community outage reports

Crowd-sourced reports confirm whether the X app, timeline, or API is failing for users globally — useful when the official status page lags.

Downdetector X reports

Test x.com directly in your browser

Open x.com in a fresh incognito window on a different network. If it loads there but not normally, the issue may be local to your device or ISP.

What happens when X goes down?

X timeline not loading

Blank timelines, infinite spinners, or stale content that won't refresh are common symptoms during X server-side incidents.

X API 429 or 5xx errors

Developers integrating the X API may see 429 rate-limit errors, 503 service unavailable, or sudden quota drops during degraded service windows.

Posts failing or stuck sending

Tweets may fail to publish, appear to send but not go live, or take minutes to appear on timelines during X platform stress.

Notifications and DMs delayed

Push notifications may stop firing and direct messages may fail to load or send when X infrastructure is under strain.

How do I troubleshoot X issues?

1
Force-refresh the X app or browser
On web, hit Cmd+Shift+R (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+R (Windows). On mobile, force-close the X app and reopen to clear any cached state.
2
Check the X API status independently
The X web app and the X API are separate systems. If you're a developer, check api.twitterstat.us for API-specific incident notices.
3
Switch networks or devices
Toggle between WiFi and cellular data, or try from a different device. This rules out ISP-level or device-local connectivity issues.
4
Look for rate limit messages
X has user-level rate limits on timelines and searches. A "rate limit exceeded" message means you've hit X's view limits, not that X is fully down.
5
Monitor X's own account for updates
X Support (@XSupport) and @X post operational updates during major incidents. If you can load those accounts, the outage may be partial.

Real-Time X Monitoring

API Status Check tracks X status independently so you can confirm outages even when X's own status page is slow to update.

Independent X status verification
API Status Check monitors X separately from official channels so you can confirm outages even when X's own status page is slow to update.
Historical uptime and incident log
Review X's recent incident history, average recovery times, and reliability trends to plan around recurring outage patterns.
Email, RSS, and webhook alerts
Get notified across your preferred channels the moment X experiences a new incident or recovers from an outage.

What can I do during an X outage?

Use X's mobile web at x.com

The lightweight x.com mobile web version sometimes stays up when the native app experiences issues due to separate serving infrastructure.

Try a different platform (iOS vs Android vs web)

X outages are often platform-specific. If the iOS app is failing, try the Android app or the web version at x.com.

Draft posts and wait for recovery

If you manage branded accounts or need to post time-sensitive content, draft everything offline and queue it for when X recovers.

Set up X outage alerts

API Status Check sends real-time alerts when X goes down so you're notified the moment service is restored.

Frequently asked questions about X status

Is X down right now?

Check api.twitterstat.us and Downdetector for live reports. If both show active incidents and you can't load x.com, X is likely down for a broad set of users.

What is the difference between X and Twitter?

Twitter rebranded to X in July 2023. The service is the same platform — x.com replaced twitter.com — but the brand, logo, and app name changed to X.

Why is my X timeline blank or not updating?

Blank timelines usually signal a server-side issue with X's content delivery. Try force-refreshing and check Downdetector for confirmation before escalating.

Is the X API down or just the app?

The X API and the X consumer app are separate. Developers should check api.twitterstat.us for API-specific incidents, as the web app can work while the API is degraded.

Why is X showing a rate limit error?

X enforces daily view limits on timelines and searches. A rate limit error means you've hit your quota for the day, not that X is down for everyone.

How can I get X outage notifications?

Subscribe to alerts on API Status Check to receive instant email or webhook notifications when X goes down or recovers.
