Notion status history
Our own checks from Europe and the US. Green means every check passed, amber means some checks failed, red means most checks in that period failed.
Outages our checks detected
None since Oct 13. A problem has to fail two checks in a row before we record it.

About Notion
Notion is an all-in-one workspace combining docs, wikis, databases, project boards, and AI features, used by teams for knowledge management, product specs, meeting notes, and CRMs. Outages typically affect page loads (slow or failing), real-time collaboration (syncing between users stalls), database queries (filters, sorts, formulas time out), Notion AI (generation fails), or the public API (breaks Zapier and custom integrations). Because Notion stores documents as block trees in a database, very large pages or deeply-nested structures are affected disproportionately during load incidents. Notion is also a popular website builder (domain linking), so outages take down public Notion-hosted sites.
The official Notion status page is available as a reference. Official pages are useful, but they can lag behind real outages by minutes or hours.
outage patterns
Why Notion outages can be hard to notice
Productivity SaaS tools like Notion sit in the background of daily work, which paradoxically makes their outages harder to catch quickly. Designs save, documents sync, and edits propagate without explicit confirmation steps, so a partial sync failure can leave work feeling done until you open it on another device.
The live check above measures the public notion.so endpoint from EU and US. It can reveal reachability or response-time problems, but it cannot inspect a private export queue, document sync state, or authenticated editor workflow. Confirm those features directly and compare them with the provider status reference.
Common signs Notion is having issues
- Files appearing to save successfully in the editor but failing to appear in the file list
- Exports (PDF, video, image bundles) stuck in a perpetual 'rendering' state
- Brand kit, fonts, or shared assets failing to load even though the editor opens
- Login or 2FA prompts looping when other apps from the same identity provider work fine
What to do when Notion is degraded
If you suspect Notion is having trouble, attempt the failing action from a private browsing window first - that rules out a cached-token or local-state problem. If the failure repeats, check notion.so from a second device or network. A reproducible failure across browsers and networks is almost always upstream, not local.

why independent monitoring
Provider status references
and endpoint checks answer different questions.
Independent endpoint evidence
The regional check can show that a public endpoint is failing before or after a provider posts broader incident context. It does not validate every product subsystem.
Scheduled alerts
Monitor Notion on your plan interval and route confirmed endpoint failures through the notification channels available to your workspace.
Multi-region verification
EU and US results can reveal a regional difference in public-endpoint reachability. Confirm the exact workflow and provider region you use.
Historical data
Track Notion uptime over time. See trends, identify recurring issues, and make informed decisions about your dependency.
Frequently asked questions
Is Notion down right now?
See the latest check of notion.so and its timestamp at the top of this page. If Notion is down, you can also check the official status page for extra context.
How do I check if Notion is having issues?
This page checks the public Notion endpoint from EU and US. You can also monitor that endpoint on a schedule and receive confirmed-failure alerts through the channels available on your plan. Test the exact provider feature you use for a complete diagnosis.
How can I get alerted when Notion goes down?
Add notion.so to Visual Sentinel and its first check is free. To keep monitoring, start a 7-day trial (card required) or subscribe now: Solo and Starter check every 5 minutes, Business and Agency every 60 seconds, with email, push and chat alerts.
Where can I find Notion outage context?
The official Notion status page is available as a reference. Official pages are useful, but they can lag behind real outages by minutes or hours. Visual Sentinel checks the public Notion endpoint independently from EU and US. Paid Business and Agency plans support 60-second uptime checks.
Why does Notion load slowly on large pages during an outage?
Notion pages are composed of blocks fetched individually. Heavy pages (long docs, databases with many rows, nested galleries) trigger thousands of block fetches. During infrastructure stress, these fetches slow or time out, making large pages unusable before smaller pages are affected.
Does a Notion outage lose my edits?
Notion clients cache recent edits locally and sync when connectivity returns. In most outages your edits survive and upload when the service recovers. Extremely long offline periods or conflicts with concurrent edits from teammates can lose or merge changes, but this is rare.
Often checked together with Notion
Work tools are separate services. If one stops loading, check whether the others your team uses still answer.
