We've written about Clerk

Is Clerk down for you right now?

Everything above is read from Clerk's own status feed. This is what other visitors are saying in the last 24 hours — useful when the feed is green and you are still stuck, and never used to change the status above.

Nobody has reported Clerk in the last 24 hours. Yours would be the first.

Reports are anonymous counts and are kept for 24 hours, then deleted. No account, no message, nothing stored about who reported. One report per service per hour, changeable until the hour is out.

What Clerk is

Clerk provides user authentication and management as a drop-in service — sign-in and sign-up components, sessions, organisations and multi-factor, mostly used from Next.js and React applications. It sits directly in front of the application, so an outage locks users out of a site that is otherwise healthy.

What Clerk's status feed covers

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.

isuptime reads this feed on a schedule and reports what it says — how that works, in detail.

Clerk uptime, last 30 days

One bar per day. Each shows the share of that day's checks where Clerk's own status feed reported no outage — degraded counts as no-outage. Days with no bar are days isuptime recorded no checks, not days Clerk was down.

What is Clerk's status right now?
Clerk is reporting “All Systems Operational” on its official status page — Operational — as of . That status feed answered our last check in 857 ms. isuptime reads this from Clerk's own published feed and does not test Clerk independently.

The most recent incident Clerk published was “Elevated error rates for authentication requests”, opened Nov 3, 07:43 AM UTC (23h ago) and marked resolved Nov 3, 06:15 AM UTC. That is the latest entry in Clerk's own incident feed, not every problem users experienced.
What is Clerk's uptime?
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.
Is it just me, or is Clerk down for everyone?
Clerk reports all systems operational, so the problem is likely local to your network, browser or account. Try a different network or device.

Clerk says operational but it is not working for me

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.
