Question 1

Is Linode down right now?

Accepted Answer

No — Linode is not down. All Linode systems are reported operational. Checked at 2026-09-23T17:20:33.722Z.

Question 2

What is Linode's status right now?

Accepted Answer

Linode is reporting "All Systems Operational" on its official status page — Operational — as of 2026-09-23T17:20:33.722Z. That status feed answered isuptime's last check in 541 ms. isuptime reads this from Linode's own published feed and does not test Linode independently.

Question 3

When did Linode last go down?

Accepted Answer

The most recent incident Linode published was "Emerging Service Issue - Cloud Manager and API", opened 2026-09-21T17:13:35.218Z and marked resolved 2026-09-23T03:26:27.158Z. This is the latest entry in Linode's own incident feed, not every problem users experienced.

Question 4

What is Linode's uptime?

Accepted Answer

isuptime does not measure Linode's uptime directly — it reads Linode's own published status feed. Over the last 30 days, Linode'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 Linode down for everyone?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 6

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

Accepted Answer

Use Lish, the out-of-band console, to reach an instance that will not answer SSH — it works when networking on the instance does not. A full disk or an out-of-memory kill will take down SSH while the host stays healthy. Check the firewall rules and whether the instance is actually running before treating it as a platform issue.

Question 7

What does Linode's status page actually cover?

Accepted Answer

Linode's status page reports per datacentre — Newark, Frankfurt, Singapore and the rest — as well as by product, and that regional structure is how it should be read: an incident is almost always confined to one facility. Network and storage incidents are listed separately from compute, because they are different layers and fail apart from each other.

Question 8

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

Accepted Answer

DigitalOcean (operational), Amazon Web Services (operational). Each state was read from that provider's own status feed at 2026-09-23T17:20:33.722Z, in the same round as Linode'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 Linode?

Accepted Answer

As of 2026-09-23T17:20:33.722Z, 9 other services isuptime tracks were also reporting a problem: Cloudflare (Minor Service Outage); Twilio (Partially Degraded Service); Supabase (Partially Degraded Service); Elastic (Partial System Outage); Cursor (Partially Degraded Service); Scaleway (Partially Degraded Service); Snowflake (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.
