Is Lyft down?

I'm having a problem

Checks passingchecked 15 minutes ago

Our checks of Lyft pass from all 2 regions we check.

As of Oct 23, 2026, 1:28 AM UTC, RealUptime's checks of Lyft passed in all 2 regions that returned a reading.

Front-door and live API checks

Our checks of Lyft did not fail from two or more distant regions in the 64 days we have checked it (since Aug 20, 2026). This does not show Lyft works for users.

This reading is from our two US regions.

Email me when our checks of Lyft fail from two or more distant regions

One email when our checks of Lyft fail from two or more distant regions, and one when they pass, after you confirm the address. No account, no card.

This is our own reading from outside. It is not Lyft's official status.

Lyft operates in the United States and Canada, so we check it from our US regions only.

Lyft 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 Lyft

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 Lyft. It cannot diagnose Lyft's own systems.

What we measured, function by function

Lyft 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 api 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 Lyft, 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 started counting reports for Lyft on September 11, 2026.

Recent probe events

No probe events on record yet for Lyft.

check entries are our own probes' readings; declared entries are the vendor's. How this check works

We have been measuring Lyft 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.

The badge shows the share of our checks that passed over the last 30 days. The window is printed on it, so the number always says what period it covers. If our readings go stale it says stale, and if we have no readings it says so and shows no color. Free, no account, and it links back here. See how the badge works for every window and the honesty rules behind it.

To cite this page: RealUptime, "Is Lyft down?", https://realuptime.io/outages/lyft. The readings change with every check, so give the date you read them.

Checking a site of your own? The free website down checker sends it one request and reports the answer, and the SLA calculator shows how much downtime an uptime figure allows.

How our checks compare with Lyft's stated SLA

At or above your target

Our checks of Lyft failed for none over the last 30 days, which is 100% uptime by our checks. A 99.9% target allows 43 minutes over that period.

Our checks show no gap in this period. That does not rule out one you saw.

These figures come from our own checks of one public endpoint per service. They are not the service's real uptime. This is computed from our own checks, not from Lyft's SLA instrumentation. Their contract is normally measured against their own systems, with their own exclusions and a claim window, so their figure and ours will differ. Use this to start the conversation and ask for their number. It is not legal advice and it is not a determination of what you are owed.

What we check

primaryfunctional: live API

secondary

What our check can and cannot see

A pass means the service's servers answered our request with the error they give a request that carries no account or valid input. It does not show that sign-in works or that any real request succeeds.

Host checked: api.lyft.com

RealUptime is not affiliated with Lyft; the name identifies what we checked, and nothing here speaks for Lyft's own team. We send a single web request to Lyft from 2 regions on our own schedule and time the response. We do not see inside Lyft's systems, do not use an account or real transaction, and are not the same signal Lyft's own team has access to. Treat this as one external data point, not a verdict. At least one endpoint we check for Lyft is a real functional API call (marked “functional” above), not just a landing page, so a passing check there says an API answered, though it still does not show that every feature of the service works for you. Lyft operates in the United States and Canada, so we check it from our US regions only. Read the full methodology.
