Troubleshooting

How to fix Grok not working

When Grok itself is having trouble, these steps won't bring it back, but they will rule out anything on your side:

Your browser tries to reach x.ai over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

  1. Start a fresh Grok chat

    Long threads can stall partway through a reply, and a new conversation often clears that up because it starts without all the earlier context. Open a new chat and resend your prompt. If it answers there, the old thread was the problem.

  2. Compare with the xAI status page

    Open the official status page at https://status.x.ai and look for an open incident. If nothing is listed, the fault is probably on your side, though smaller outages sometimes show up there late. The status at the top of this page counts user problem reports in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours, so a jump in reports with a clean official page can still mean the trouble is wider than you.

  3. Switch between X and the standalone app

    Grok runs inside X and as its own app, so if one keeps failing, try the other while signed in with the same account. On a phone, move from Wi-Fi to mobile data or turn off any VPN, because some networks and VPN exits get blocked or rate limited.

  4. Clear app data or reinstall Grok

    On Android, go to Settings > Apps > Grok > Storage (or Storage and cache) and tap Clear cache; on iPhone, press and hold the app icon, tap Remove App, then reinstall it from the App Store. In a browser, clear cookies and site data for the site and sign in again. Still stuck? The help centre at https://help.x.ai covers account and sign-in problems.

While Grok is down: what to use instead

  • Grok inside X If the standalone app won't load, try the Grok tab in the X app or on the X website, which sometimes keeps answering, though a wider outage on xAI's side tends to take both down.
  • Switch between web and app Use the browser when the phone app hangs on a reply that never finishes, or the reverse, because a bad app update or a stale login can break one without touching the other.
  • ChatGPT Fine for drafting, summaries and code help while you wait, but it won't pull in live posts from X the way Grok does.
  • Claude Paste in a long document or a chunk of code when you can't wait for the service to come back.

Same time

Problems at the same time as Grok

Since 5 October, all 17 of Grok's spikes in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.

When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

About

What happens when Grok goes down

Grok is the AI assistant from xAI, the company Elon Musk founded in 2023, and you can use it in a browser, on iPhone, on Android and inside X. People rely on it for coding help and quick answers about posts on X, while developers build on the xAI API, so an outage can stall a draft halfway through or break an app that calls it in the background.

Chat usually goes first. You send a prompt and the reply either hangs on a loading indicator or stops partway through a sentence, and your past conversations may not open from the sidebar at all. Image generation and voice mode often break separately from text, so you might still get written answers while pictures time out or voice refuses to connect. Problems are often partial: Grok inside X can fail while the standalone app works, or the trouble can reach some accounts or regions before others, so check the official status page at https://status.x.ai to see whether xAI has posted an incident.

Questions

Grok FAQ

Is Grok down right now?
The status at the top of this page shows whether user problem reports for it are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. xAI posts its own incidents on the official status page at https://status.x.ai. If both look quiet, open the app on mobile data instead of Wi-Fi or load the website in a private browser window; when it works there, the fault sits with your network or a browser extension.

Why does Grok say I've hit my limit when I've barely used it?
Usage caps depend on your plan, and the heavier modes like Think and DeepSearch often run out sooner than plain chat. Wait it out. Once the cap resets the composer works again, though if the message sticks around after that you should sign out and back in, because the app can hold on to an old plan status.

I pay for X Premium, so why are Grok features still locked?
Your subscription has to be on the exact X account you are signed into, and a purchase made through the Apple or Google store only counts for the account that bought it. A fresh login often pulls the updated status. X Premium and SuperGrok are separate subscriptions, so check the help centre at https://help.x.ai to see which one covers the feature you want.

Why does Grok stop halfway through an answer or show 'Something went wrong'?
Long replies break when your connection drops mid-stream, which happens a lot on patchy mobile signal or behind a VPN. Hit regenerate. If the same prompt fails every time, shorten it or start a new chat, since very long conversations and big file uploads are more likely to time out.

Why won't the app make the image I asked for?
Image generation refuses some prompts, mainly ones involving certain real people or explicit content, and you get a refusal or an empty result instead of a picture. Rewording usually helps. Free accounts also have a tighter cap on images than on text, so pictures can stop for a while even though chat keeps replying.

How we track Grok

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Grok, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Grok, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from Grok's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
