Perplexity answers load but the API fails?
The consumer product and the API are tracked separately on its status page — an API-side incident doesn't always show up in the web app, and vice versa.
Scheduled 'Computer' maintenance — is that an outage?
It's a maintenance event, not an incident — Perplexity announces scheduled work on the same page. It only becomes an outage if it carries a degraded/down state.
How do I tell if Perplexity is down for everyone or only for me?
If the status above is operational but Perplexity still fails for you, the cause is probably on your side: try another network, clear the cache, or check your own connection. If it shows a degradation or an outage, others are affected too.
How can I get alerted when my own site goes down?
OpenUptime checks your site every minute and sends an alert to Slack, Telegram, email or a webhook the moment it stops responding. It is open source and free to start.
