Failing for you? Check whether it is you
Is it you?
If our checks are green, try another network or a fresh session; a 401 or 403 usually means a key or login problem, not an outage.
What to do while WorkOS is down
When WorkOS is down, SSO, directory sync and AuthKit sign-ins may be slow or unavailable. Our probes check it every 5 minutes from Vercel iad1 (US East).

WorkOS posts incidents and news on its own site: status.workos.com.
Retry with backoff
Short blips usually clear within a few minutes; retry with exponential backoff instead of a tight loop.
