Is Character AI Down Right Now or Are There Ongoing Server Issues?

[jacksparrow]

I’m unable to load chats and keep wondering is character ai down for everyone or just certain regions. Is there a reliable way to check its status?

Same here, Canary region (EU). Tried both desktop and mobile app nothing loads. Usually when Character AI has server issues, social platforms start trending memes about it. Checked Twitter and nada so far… but that doesn’t mean much.

You can try monitoring sites like Downdetector and IsItDownRightNow. They usually show reports for outages in real time. I just checked Downdetector and there was a spike in reports for Character AI in the past 30 mins looks like more than just individual cases. Not perfect, but helpful.

Anyone tried clearing cache or switching Wi-Fi to mobile data? I had issues yesterday where Character AI wouldn’t load unless I forced a new DNS (Cloudflare 1.1.1.1). It might not be the servers but local DNS caching. Worth a shot!

It’s definitely not just you. I asked a friend in the US and they’re stuck too. Usually when Character AI is down, someone tweets about it with screenshots of blank chats or errors. I’d check Twitter hashtags like #CharacterAIDown.

IIRC, Character AI doesn’t really have a public status page like some other services. But the official X/Twitter account sometimes posts updates if there’s a broad outage. Also look at Reddit threads if lots of people are reporting load failures, it’s likely a serverwide thing.

Tried VPN (US → Asia → EU) and still no chats loading. I think the problem is more widespread. If you guys notice errors like “504 gateway” or “failed to fetch”, those usually mean server side stuff, not local device errors.

It’s annoying because I was in the middle of a convo and suddenly everything froze. Usually Character AI is pretty stable, so this feels like legitimate server trouble. If it’s truly down, I hope they post a status update soon not just silence.

One trick I use when I suspect downtime is checking community outage maps. They show clusters of issues by region. But since everyone’s on VPN and different networks right now, it might be messy. Still worth checking to confirm Character AI down right now vs local lag.

Let’s be patient sometimes it’s just maintenance windows. If it persists for hours, then yeah probably server issues. Either way, if someone finds an official Character AI status page or live tracker, drop it here!
