The status at the top of this page is Perplexity's own, read from its public status page every couple of minutes. It shows what Perplexity's team has confirmed. For an independent check of whether perplexity.ai answers right now, use the live check on the is-it-down page. ### Where is Perplexity's official status page? Perplexity publishes its status at https://status.perplexity.com. This page shows the same data with the recent incident history in one place, and links each incident to Perplexity's own write-up. ### Why does Perplexity not work for me when its status says operational? A status page lists the incidents a vendor has confirmed, and confirmation takes time: problems often reach users minutes before they reach the status page, and some partial or regional problems never appear on it. Your own network, account or region can also be the cause. ### How can I get alerted when Perplexity has an incident? Add an External Status Page monitor in Uptimely pointed at https://status.perplexity.com. It reads the page on a schedule and alerts your team by email, SMS, phone call, Slack, Discord or browser push when Perplexity reports a problem, beside the monitors for your own services.
