Status check

Is Grok down right now?

Official xAI status below — grok.com, Grok in X, and Imagine can fail separately. If status looks green but Grok still fails, try another network or the other Grok surface first. We summarize status.x.ai.

Quick checks

Is it just you — or is Grok down?

Grok lives on more than one surface. Confirm which one failed.

01
Open status.x.ai
Check Grok Web, Grok in X, Imagine, and API lines separately — they do not always fail together.
02
Try grok.com vs Grok in X
If one works and the other does not, it is a surface outage, not necessarily “all of xAI.”
03
Another network / app reinstall not first
Hotspot + browser test first. Reinstalling the app rarely fixes a real xAI incident.
04
API region notes
Builders: API regions can degrade independently from consumer Grok chat.

Who this hits

When a Grok outage hurts most

DeepSearch comparisons, Imagine edit stacks, and long technical threads are expensive because live retrieval and iteration history live in that conversation.

Mid-DeepSearch / X-aware research

Grok’s value is often live retrieval over fresh X/web info. When the service is unavailable you lose that layer — copy findings already on screen.

Imagine prompt / edit stacks

Repeated image edits (“change outfit, keep background”) are hard to reconstruct from memory. Save the prompt stack before reload.

Long technical threads

Code and HTML revisions accumulate until Grok stops responding. Restarting means re-supplying project context — keep the last useful explanation.

While you wait

What to do if you had an unfinished chat

Grok outages hit hardest mid-DeepSearch, mid-Imagine iteration, or mid-debug thread. Save prompts and partial replies before you refresh.

Copy DeepSearch / debug lines

If DeepSearch was comparing sources or you were pasting error strings, keep the visible findings — they are harder to recreate than a short prompt.

Save Imagine prompt iterations

Image/video prompt tweaks (“cinematic night lighting” → “soft daylight”) are easy to lose. Copy the prompt stack before reloading Grok.

grok.com vs Grok in X

xAI monitors surfaces separately. Grok.com can be down while Grok in X still works — or the reverse. Use the official status page, not only social spikes.

Back up Grok chats you want to find again

Pactify syncs Grok conversations to Notion and indexes chat history for local search. When Grok is down, you can still find chats you already backed up — it does not keep Grok itself running.

While you wait — a simple backup

Back up Grok chats — search your history later

This page answers whether Grok is down. Pactify backs up Grok conversations to Notion and indexes chat history locally — DeepSearch and long threads you already saved stay searchable when Grok is unreachable.

Sync chats to Notion

Sync Grok chats to Notion after DeepSearch or long threads so a backup exists outside the browser.

Search chat history on this device

Full-text search across Grok chats indexed on this device. Find past answers when Grok is down — for chats you already opened or synced with Pactify.

Export when you need a copy

One-shot export to Markdown / Word (and Notion) for any open Grok chat — handy after a long thread you do not want to lose to copy-paste.

What is at stake

What usually survives vs what is at risk

xAI has also reported “losing conversation context” style incidents — continuity can break without wiping every chat.

Usually still there later

Easy to lose right now

Status honesty

What xAI status covers — and what it doesn’t

This page links the official xAI status board for live updates.

Official board is the source

status.x.ai tracks Grok Web, Grok in X, Imagine, and API. Open it for live component state.

Social spikes are not status

Complaint volume on X is not the same as an official xAI incident. Prefer status.x.ai.

Surface splits matter

Treat grok.com and Grok in X as different products when diagnosing “Grok down.”

What you might see

Grok feels down — what people usually mean

Grok lives on more than one place. Match what you see to a simple next step.

“Unable to reply” / something went wrong

Check the status card above. If grok.com fails, try Grok inside X (or the reverse) — they do not always break together.

Loads for a long time, then shows a blank reply

That answer may never save. Copy anything that appeared before the blank screen.

One mode works, another says unavailable

Normal. DeepSearch or Imagine can fail while basic chat still answers — use what still works for now.

Image creation or editing only fails

Images can break while text chat still works. Save your prompt wording before you refresh.

FAQ

Grok down — FAQ

Why does Grok go down sometimes?

Grok runs on shared cloud infrastructure. Traffic spikes, model rollouts, and upstream network issues can cause partial or full outages — often on one surface (web chat, API, or a single model) rather than everything everywhere. Short incidents are common and usually not about your account alone.

How long do Grok outages usually last?

Many incidents resolve in under an hour; larger events can last several hours. Prefer the official status page over social rumor for live updates.

Will I lose my Grok chats if it goes down?

A temporary outage usually does not delete your existing conversation history. What you often lose is the unfinished assistant reply — a generation that never committed cleanly. Copy anything useful on screen before you refresh.

How do I prevent losing important Grok conversations?

During an outage: copy key prompts and answers to a note. For ongoing protection: back up chats you care about. Pactify can sync Grok conversations to Notion and index chat history for full-text search on this device — so when the host is down, you can still find chats you already backed up (it does not keep Grok itself running).

Where is the official Grok status page?

Use the official status source linked at the top of this page (https://status.x.ai/). Pactify summarizes that source when available.

Grok.com is down — does Grok in X still work?

It can. status.x.ai tracks Grok Web and Grok in X as separate services. Check which component is listed as affected.

Why did Grok forget my conversation context?

xAI has reported “losing conversation context” style incidents before. That can break continuity without deleting every past chat — still copy important lines while service is unstable.

Is Imagine down the same as Grok chat down?

Not necessarily. Imagine can fail as its own component while text chat still answers — confirm on status.x.ai.

Can Pactify recover Grok chats I never backed up?

No. Pactify can sync Grok to Notion, export open chats, and search history already indexed on this device. It cannot recreate live X/web retrieval, and it cannot reply as Grok while Grok is down.

Outages are often product-specific. If one host is down, another may still be reachable — or you may want the matching status check.

Back up chats. Search history on this device.

When an AI site is down, you usually cannot keep chatting — but you can still find conversations you already saved. Add Pactify free: sync to Notion, export open chats, and full-text search indexed history on this device.
