Question 1

Is Clerk down right now?

Accepted Answer

No — Clerk is not down. All Clerk systems are reported operational. Checked at 2026-09-20T06:05:24.396Z.

Question 2

What is Clerk's status right now?

Accepted Answer

Clerk is reporting "All Systems Operational" on its official status page — Operational — as of 2026-09-20T06:05:24.396Z. That status feed answered isuptime's last check in 1065 ms. isuptime reads this from Clerk's own published feed and does not test Clerk independently.

Question 3

When did Clerk last go down?

Accepted Answer

The most recent incident Clerk published was "Delays in webhook delivery", opened 2026-09-16T12:31:37Z and marked resolved 2026-09-16T13:39:10Z. This is the latest entry in Clerk's own incident feed, not every problem users experienced.

Question 4

What is Clerk's uptime?

Accepted Answer

isuptime does not measure Clerk's uptime directly — it reads Clerk's own published status feed. Over the last 30 days, Clerk's own status feed reported no outage in 100.00% of isuptime's checks. Periods the provider called degraded count as no-outage, and this is isuptime's own measurement, not a contractual SLA.

Question 5

Is it just me, or is Clerk down for everyone?

Accepted Answer

Clerk reports all systems operational, so the problem is likely local to your network, browser or account. Try a different network or device.

Question 6

Clerk says operational but it is not working for me — why?

Accepted Answer

Existing sessions keep working during many Clerk incidents, so if only new sign-ins fail, that is consistent with an outage the page may not have posted yet. Development and production instances are separate — a failure in one says nothing about the other. Clock skew on a server breaks JWT verification with an error that looks exactly like an authentication outage.

Question 7

What does Clerk's status page actually cover?

Accepted Answer

Clerk's status page separates the frontend API used by the browser components from the backend API used by your server, and separates both from the dashboard. That split is important: the dashboard being down does not affect signed-in users, while a frontend API incident stops anybody signing in even though the application itself is untouched.

Question 8

What can I use instead of Clerk while it is down?

Accepted Answer

Firebase (operational), Supabase (degraded). Each state was read from that provider's own status feed at 2026-09-20T06:05:24.396Z, in the same round as Clerk's, so the readings are comparable in time. Check the substitute is up before moving work to it.

Question 9

Is anything else down right now, or is it just Clerk?

Accepted Answer

As of 2026-09-20T06:05:24.396Z, 14 other services isuptime tracks were also reporting a problem: Cloudflare (Minor Service Outage); Twilio (Partially Degraded Service); Supabase (Partially Degraded Service); Datadog (Partially Degraded Service); Elastic (Partial System Outage); Snyk (Partially Degraded Service); Squarespace (Minor Service Outage); Scaleway (Partially Degraded Service); Bunny.net (Partially Degraded Service); Snowflake (Partially Degraded Service); Notion (Partial System Degradation); Coinbase (Partially Degraded Service); Salesforce (Degraded Performance: 1 active incident); PlayStation Network (PlayStation Store affected in Russia). All are checked on one schedule, so the timing is directly comparable — but overlapping in time does not establish a shared cause.
