AWS not working? Common problems and fixes
What usually helps when AWS fails for you while it works for others.
Check aws.amazon.com from our serverGuides
Only one region or service is broken
AWS outages are usually limited to one region and a few services. The AWS Health Dashboard lists them per region; check the region you run in.
Throttling errors such as ThrottlingException or 503 SlowDown
You sent more requests than the service allows. Retry with exponential backoff, or ask for a quota increase.
The AWS console won’t load
The console can have problems while your services keep running. The CLI or API is a quick way to check your resources.

About AWS outages
Is AWS down right now?
No, AWS is not down right now: aws.amazon.com answered our check at 23:15 UTC.
When was AWS last down?
Our checks haven’t found AWS down since we started checking it on 16 Oct 2026.
How often does AWS go down?
Since we started checking AWS on 16 Oct 2026, our checks every 2 minutes have not found AWS down.
How does Uptimecheck check AWS?
We request https://aws.amazon.com/ every 2 minutes from New York, London and Stockholm. Any answer below HTTP 500 within 10 seconds counts as up, since large sites often answer automated requests with 403. A failure only counts once a second check confirms it.
What can I do when AWS is down?
Check AWS’s official status page for updates and try again in a few minutes. If aws.amazon.com works for us but not for you, try another network or browser, or clear your DNS cache. If your own product depends on AWS, tell your customers on your status page before they email support.
Why is AWS not working for me when it is up?
Our check shows that aws.amazon.com answers. Your own network, a VPN, browser extensions, an outdated app or a problem with your account can still break AWS for you alone. The common problems on this page list what usually helps, and when many people report the same problem, it shows here.
Can I get an alert when AWS goes down?
AWS has no status page we can read, so bookmark this page. For your own websites and APIs, Uptimecheck checks as often as every minute and alerts you by email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Telegram, push or webhook.
