# Is Ably down?

No, it's up. 0 reports in the last hour.

## Official updates

- **Transient load-balancer issue in us-west-1** (RESOLVED, 2026-10-30T16:48:13.000Z): Between 16:27-16:35 UTC, connection attempts to us-west-1 had an ~18% chance of being refused with an error due to a network load balancer issue. An Ably SDK will have been automatically retried to a fallback region, so an end user will have experienced no impact other than a slight increase in connection establishment latency.
- **Elevated connection errors in us-east-1** (RESOLVED, 2026-10-25T21:24:34.000Z): us-east-1 is reenabled and the service is operating normally. The root cause has been confirmed to be a defective Network Load Balancer that was causing a small fraction of connection attempts in the region to fail. We are awaiting a postmortem from AWS on the issue, and will publish our own postmortem here once we have that.
