Is Bluesky down? Live status
Bluesky and the AT Protocol network, checked every minute by bskycheck, independently of Bluesky.
Each part of Bluesky, last 24 hours
Other networks on the AT Protocol
Networks with their own servers, beyond Bluesky's. Their posts and profiles reach the app through Bluesky's services above, so a Bluesky problem touches them too; here are their own servers. New accounts: since midnight UTC, from our live feed.

How this is checked
Every minute, a server in Germany asks Bluesky's public services for the same things an app needs: a profile by account ID and by custom-domain handle, several profiles at once, an account's posts and followers, account search, the login server (bsky.social), the account directory (plc.directory), two of Bluesky's account servers, a profile picture, and the live network feed. For the other networks (Eurosky and Mu, Blacksky, W Social, Northsky, Bridgy Fed) it asks their own servers, and Blacksky's own app service.
A part shows Problems when some of its checks fail or take more than 3 seconds, and Down when all of them fail, each time only after two minutes in a row: one slow minute is normal on any network.

Questions about Bluesky outages
Is Bluesky down right now?
The banner at the top of this page answers it: it is checked every minute. When a part shows Problems or Down, it has failed for at least two minutes in a row, from outside Bluesky.
Why does Bluesky say "Internal Server Error"?
It means one of Bluesky's servers failed to answer that request. It usually lasts a few minutes and can touch only some profiles or some features. Wait a moment and reload; nothing is wrong with your account.
Bluesky works here but not for me: why?
The checks here use Bluesky's public services from a server in Germany. If everything is green, the problem may be on your side: your connection, an old app version, or the app's cache (closing and reopening the app helps).
Is my account suspended?
An error on a profile during an outage does not mean the account is suspended. A suspended or taken-down account shows a clear message on its profile. If the page says Problems for profiles, wait until it is green again.
Does this page come from Bluesky?
No. bskycheck is an independent project, not affiliated with Bluesky. Bluesky's own status page is status.bsky.app.
