If it works there, your connection, your DNS resolver or a proxy is the cause. If the check above agrees that it is down, the fault is Character.AI's, and its status page is the place to watch. The [guides to HTTP and network errors](https://getuptimely.com/errors) explain each error message a browser shows. ## Where the check runs from A single request from one location: Uptimely's own checker, outside your network. It separates down for everyone from down for you, but not a regional outage from a global one. A result is kept for up to a minute, then refreshed in the background; its time is printed beside it. ## Run this check from a script or an agent curl ``` curl "https://getuptimely.com/api/tools/check?url=character.ai" ``` No API key.

The check at the top of this page answers that: Uptimely requests character.ai from one location: Uptimely's own checker, outside your network, reuses the answer for up to 60 seconds and refreshes it in the background when you load the page later, and reports whether the server answered, with what status and how fast. The time of the check is printed beside the result. If it answers us and still fails for you, suspect the path between you and character.ai (DNS, a proxy, a firewall) or your own credentials before the service itself. ### Where does Character.AI confirm its own incidents? This page does not read an official Character.AI status feed, so the result above is Uptimely's own check of character.ai and nothing else. Character.AI's own channels, its status page if it publishes one and its support or social accounts, are where confirmed incidents and their updates appear. ### What does a Character.AI outage usually look like? Responses stall or never arrive, the chat shows an error such as "something went wrong" or a capacity message, and API calls answer 5xx or 429 more than usual. The sign-in page is often fine while the model itself is not. ### Why is Character.AI not working for me when the check says it is up? The check runs from one location: Uptimely's own checker, outside your network, so it sees what one client on the open internet sees. Your builds or API calls can still fail on a regional edge, an expired token, a rate limit on your key, or a DNS resolver that cached a bad answer. Compare from a second network, read the response body your client got, and check Character.AI's status page for a partial incident. ### What does a 4xx or 5xx answer mean? 5xx (500, 502, 503, 504) means the server was reached and failed to handle the request; the check counts it as down. 4xx (403, 404, 429) means the server is up and chose to refuse the request or could not find it. Expect 403 or 429 from sites that block automated clients even while they work in a browser. ### How can I get an alert when Character.AI goes down? Add character.ai as a Website monitor in a free Uptimely account. It is requested every minute, and you are alerted by email, SMS, phone call, Slack, Discord or browser push when it stops answering. 10 monitors are on the Free plan, with no credit card. ### Can I run this check from a script or an AI agent? Yes: GET https://getuptimely.com/api/tools/check?url=character.ai returns this check as JSON, or as Markdown when you send Accept: text/markdown. No key is needed; the limit is 30 calls a minute per IP address. Verified 2026-11-08 by the Uptimely team.
