Recovery tracker

No recent recovery can be established from available evidence.

0 consecutive successful checks within the last 30 minutes. These checks measure the public website; they cannot establish recovery of every feature.

Slowdown detection

More successful checks are needed to establish a response-time baseline.

Recent median: unknown · Earlier median: unknown. Flags require at least 3 recent and 5 earlier checks, more than twice the baseline, and at least 500 ms extra latency. Slowness alone does not identify server load as the cause.

Is it down in your region?

Run one public website check from a community probe. Results describe that probe, not every user in a country.

Powered by Globalping. Results are reused for 15 minutes. Shared free allowance: up to 60 tests per hour. A successful website check does not verify authenticated app or API functions.

Infrastructure incident context

Check whether broader platform incidents coincide with the problem you are seeing. These providers are context, not verified dependencies of Codex.
