Not working for you? Try this
- App, backend or API?Runway lists its app, backend and public API separately. If the app loads but generations never finish, the backend is the likely cause; API users should check the Public API line above.
- A generation is stuckVideo generation can take a while, especially at busy times. Give it a few minutes, then refresh the page. Finished results normally appear in your assets even if the page lost track of them.
- Check your creditsRunway generations use credits. If a generation won't start, check your remaining credits and plan before assuming an outage.
- One prompt or image keeps failingIf a single prompt or uploaded image is rejected every time while others work, it's probably being blocked by Runway's content rules. Rephrase it or use a different image.
- API users: read the status codeA 401 from Runway's API means a missing or wrong API key. Errors in the 500s are on Runway's side and are worth retrying later.

Questions about Runway outages
Why is my Runway generation taking so long?
Video generation is heavy work and queues get longer at busy times. If many people report problems or the backend shows issues above, it's a wider slowdown.
Is the Runway API down when the app is down?
Not necessarily. Runway lists them separately, and either can have problems on its own.
Where is Runway's official status page?
