Is Stack Overflow down?
Operationalchecked 23 minutes ago
We reached Stack Overflow from all 4 regions we check.
No outage recorded in the 14 days we have measured Stack Overflow (since Aug 20, 2026).
Stack Overflow publishes no status feed we can read, so the only independent reading here is ours on the left.

Is it Stack Overflow, or is it you?
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 Stack Overflow -- it cannot diagnose Stack Overflow's own systems.

These are unverified reports from people using Stack Overflow, 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 Stack Overflow yet, which is not evidence that nothing is wrong.

No outages on record yet for Stack Overflow.
measured entries are our own probes' readings; declared entries are the vendor's. How this check works
We have been measuring Stack Overflow 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.

Monitor your own site the same way
This page shows what we see when we check this service, using the same ten regions, for a site you run. RealUptime Monitor watches your own servers from inside your network, and it starts free.

Get told when we measure this
We will tell you when our probes stop reaching Stack Overflow, and again when they can reach it again. That is our own measurement from ten regions, not Stack Overflow's status page. No account, no card.

Live, from this page's own readings.[](https://realuptime.io/outages/stack-overflow)<a href="https://realuptime.io/outages/stack-overflow"><img src="https://realuptime.io/outages/stack-overflow/badge.svg?days=30" alt="Stack Overflow uptime measured by RealUptime"></a>The badge shows the share of our probes that succeeded over the last 30 days, and 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: it will not show green on data we cannot vouch for. Free, no account, and it links back here.

What Stack Overflow's SLA implies, from our measurement
At or above your target
We measured none of downtime for Stack Overflow over the 337h 29m since we started watching it on 2026-08-20, which is 100% uptime by our reading. A 99.9% target allows 20 minutes over that period.
By our measurement there is no shortfall to claim for this period.
This is computed from our own probe measurements, not from Stack Overflow'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.
