Not working for you? Try this
- Grok on X or on grok.com?Grok inside the X app depends on X as well as xAI. If Grok works on grok.com but not inside X, the problem is probably with X rather than Grok.
- Rule out usage limitsFree and paid plans limit how many requests you can make in a period. A message about limits is about your account, not an outage.
- Sign out and back inIf sign-in loops or you see an authentication error, sign out fully and sign in again using the same method you used before.
- Try a private window or the appOpen grok.com in a private window. If it works there, clear site data or switch off extensions. The Grok app is another quick test.
- Update the appIf grok.com works but the app doesn't, update the app and restart your phone.
- API users: read the error401 means a missing or wrong API key. 429 means you're over your rate limit. xAI's status feed marks API incidents separately (labelled api.x.ai), and they're included on this page.

Questions about Grok outages
Why can't I open xAI's status page?
status.x.ai sometimes shows a security check to automated visitors and some browsers. We read its public RSS feed instead, so this page keeps working either way.
Is Grok down if X is down?
Grok inside X will usually fail when X is down, but grok.com and the Grok apps can still work. Try grok.com directly.
Does the xAI API go down at the same time as grok.com?
Sometimes together, sometimes not. xAI labels each incident with the part affected, such as grok.com or the API, and we show those labels on this page.
