Grammarly outage — here’s the latest on it being down

And so it began

The first reports of Grammarly going down came in around 11:30 PM eastern. We saw a sudden rise in user reports on Down Detector, with the number jumping for the baseline of zero all the way to around 150. For a smaller service, this is a huge jump.

When anyone tries to use Grammarly to check their writing, they’re greeted with loading feedback and an eventual error that says “Text checking is temporarily unavailable.

Grammarly acknowledges the outage

At 11:27 PM eastern, right around when the outage was first reported by users, Grammarly acknowledged the issue on its status website. 

“We’re experiencing some service interruptions at the moment. Some users may have trouble logging in, editing their documents, or accessing their account settings. Other users may not be able to see suggestions or corrections from Grammarly. We’re investigating the problem and will provide an update as soon as possible,” reads the post from the beloved grammar checker.

From there, the company added several updates that it is investigating the issue, with the most recent coming at 2:38 PM ET. It seems the company doesn’t have a solution yet, but it is putting more resources in place to try to fix things.

“Our team continues working on identifying the root cause and fixing this issue. In the meantime, we’ve added more resources to our system as an attempt to recover the service. We’ll provide another update soon,” reads the most recent post.
