Is Notion down?

Understanding Notion availability

Notion availability is not always all-or-nothing. The website may open while sign-in, a specific workspace, page loading, syncing, or saving changes fails. Notion API requests and integrations can also have separate problems from the web app.

Use these signals to estimate the likely scope:

• Several actions or workspaces fail: a broader service, session, or connection problem is more plausible.
• Only one browser or device fails: cached site data, extensions, cookies, or a local session are more likely.
• Notion works on another network: investigate Wi-Fi, DNS, VPN, proxy, firewall, or filtering software.
• Other users are affected: a wider incident becomes more likely.
• The official status page reports an incident: wait for recovery instead of repeatedly changing local settings.

A clear status page does not rule out an account-specific, regional, browser, or network problem. Similarly, one failed API request does not by itself show that Notion is down.

Troubleshooting Notion problems

Check for a wider Notion incident

Open the official Notion status page and look for an active incident, degraded component, or recovery update that matches the symptom. If the same failure occurs across devices and networks while an incident is reported, waiting for service recovery is more useful than repeatedly changing local settings.

If no incident is listed, continue with the tests below. Status information may not identify every account-specific, regional, or newly developing problem.

Notion is slow, blank, or stuck loading

1. Refresh once, then try a private or incognito window.
2. Test another browser and temporarily disable extensions that modify page scripts, privacy controls, or network traffic.
3. If the problem is limited to one browser, clear site data for Notion and sign in again.
4. Try another network, such as a mobile hotspot. If that works, the original network or DNS path is more likely than a Notion-wide outage.

You cannot sign in

Confirm that you are using the intended account and authentication method. Try the sign-in flow in a private window or another browser to rule out stale cookies and an expired session. If sign-in fails across browsers and networks while other Notion pages remain reachable, investigate the account or authentication flow rather than assuming the entire service is unavailable.

Pages do not update, save, or sync

Check whether the problem affects one page, one workspace, or multiple pages and workspaces. A single-page failure may be specific to that page or workspace; widespread failures are more consistent with a service, session, or connection problem. Keep the page open, protect any unsaved local work, avoid repeatedly submitting the same change, and retry after confirming that the connection is stable.

The Notion API or an integration fails

Test the API independently from the website. Review the request endpoint, authentication credentials, required headers, permissions, request format, and response status. A functioning web app does not confirm that an integration is configured correctly, and an API error alone does not prove a Notion outage. Remove credentials and other secrets from logs or screenshots before sharing diagnostics.

Network or certificate errors appear

DNS errors, connection timeouts, refused connections, and certificate warnings can occur before Notion receives a request. Compare another network, verify that the device clock is correct, and check whether a VPN, proxy, firewall, security product, or filtered DNS service is interfering. Do not bypass certificate warnings or install untrusted certificates as a workaround.
