We can’t get a reading.

We can't verify Perplexity directly right now.

Perplexity blocks automated checks from our prober, so a failed request tells us nothing about the service. Official status: not available.

checked responded in 13msHTTP 403

Over the last 7 days, Perplexity has answered our automated checks with 100.00% availability and a typical response time of ~854 ms. No outages have been recorded in the last 90 days.

Perplexity is an AI answer engine that searches the live web and returns cited summaries rather than a list of links. It depends on both its own models and third-party search and LLM providers, so outages often appear as answers that start generating and then stall, missing citations, or the search step failing while the interface loads normally.

What to do if Perplexity is down for just you
  • Try a plain search without Pro or focus modes; model-backed modes can fail while basic search works.
  • Sign out and back in — an expired session breaks answers while the page still renders.
  • Perplexity blocks automated traffic aggressively, so a VPN or shared IP can get you challenged rather than served.
  • Check whether only file uploads or only search is affected; they're separate subsystems.
