Our regional reading
This is our own reading from outside, shown beside the vendor's statement. It is not counted as a separate outage.
Partially degradedchecked 1 minute ago
Bluesky is answering our probes, but its web surface is running at least 3x its 7-day median from UK and its API is running at least 4x its 7-day median from UK and US-West. Everything else we check answered at its usual speed.
As of Oct 19, 2026, 9:29 PM UTC, RealUptime's checks of Bluesky passed in all 10 regions that returned a reading.
Email me when Bluesky reports an incident on its status page, and again when it reports it resolved.
Bluesky publishes no status feed we can read, so the only reading here is our check reading on the left.

Check your own site while you wait on Bluesky
Watching an outage above does not tell you whether your own connection or site is also having a problem. Enter your own URL for one live check, right now, no signup. This checks the site you enter, not Bluesky. It cannot diagnose Bluesky's own systems.
What we measured, function by function
Bluesky answers on more than one surface, and they can fail apart. Each row is one surface, checked from the same regions. The verdict above follows the web row, because that is the surface we treat as this service's own; a failure on any other row is a partial outage, not a full one.

These are unverified reports from people using Bluesky, counted separately from what our own probes measure. Anyone can file one, no account is needed, and the region on a report is chosen by the person filing it. We never open, extend or close an outage in our record based on report volume: only our own measurements do that. We have not received any reports for Bluesky yet, which is not evidence that nothing is wrong.
Recent probe events
check entries are our own probes' readings; declared entries are the vendor's. How this check works
We have been measuring Bluesky since August 20, 2026. We show nothing from before that date, and we never add an outage we did not observe ourselves, from any source.

What we check
What our check can and cannot see
A pass means the service's public web page loaded and answered normally. It does not show that the product, the API or sign-in behind it works; a page can load from a cache while the product is down.
