Troubleshooting

How to fix IBM Cloud not working

IBM Cloud is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

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

Check the official status page
Open the official status page for the service and look at the region and service you use. If IBM reports an incident there, wait for updates instead of changing your setup. If everything looks normal, move to the next step.
Reload the IBM Cloud console
Sign out of the console, clear cookies for the console domain, then sign in from a private or incognito window. Turn off browser extensions that block scripts or cookies before you try again. If the page loads cleanly, your normal browser profile has the bad session or extension.
Confirm region and resource group
On the Resource list page, set the region and resource group filters to the values you expect. Run `ibmcloud target -r <region> -g <resource_group>` and `ibmcloud resource service-instances` from the CLI to compare. If the CLI shows your resources but the console does not, your browser session is the likely cause.
Test login and IAM access
Run `ibmcloud login` or `ibmcloud login --sso` for a federated ID, then run `ibmcloud target` to confirm the account and region. If you get an authorization error, open Manage > Access (IAM) > Users and review the access policies on your user. When both the CLI and console fail, use the help centre to open a case.

While IBM Cloud is down: what to use instead

AWS Use Amazon Web Services for cloud hosting, storage, databases, or compute while IBM Cloud is unavailable.
Microsoft Azure Move workloads to Azure if your applications and data are already set up there.
Google Cloud Use Google Cloud for cloud infrastructure and managed services when your IBM Cloud environment is unavailable.

Your device

Fix IBM Cloud on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone

IBM Cloud on Windows

Fix: Clear your browser's cache and cookies, or check that your local firewall is not blocking the IBM Cloud console. If you are using the IBM Cloud CLI, verify your network proxy settings.
Check: Visit the official IBM Cloud Status page to check for active outages affecting your region. You can also use network diagnostic tools in the command prompt to check connectivity to the IBM Cloud endpoints.

Command Prompt

ping ibm.comTest whether IBM Cloud's servers reply

nslookup ibm.comCheck that IBM Cloud's DNS resolves

tracert ibm.comTrace where the connection drops

ipconfig /flushdnsClear the DNS cache, then reload

IBM Cloud on Mac

Fix: Clear your browser cache, or flush your macOS DNS cache to resolve routing issues to the IBM Cloud console. If you are using the IBM Cloud CLI, verify your terminal's network configuration.
Check: Check the IBM Cloud Status dashboard for any reported outages. You can also run network diagnostics in the Terminal to test your connection to IBM Cloud servers.

Terminal

ping -c 4 ibm.comTest whether IBM Cloud's servers reply

nslookup ibm.comCheck that IBM Cloud's DNS resolves

traceroute ibm.comTrace where the connection drops

sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponderFlush the macOS DNS cache, then reload

IBM Cloud on Android

Fix: Clear the cache and data for the IBM Cloud app in your device settings, or try switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data. If the issue persists, reinstall the app from the Google Play Store.
Check: Open the IBM Cloud mobile app to see if it displays connection errors, or visit the IBM Cloud Status page using your mobile browser.

IBM Cloud on iPhone and iPad

Fix: Force restart the IBM Cloud app, or clear your Safari browser history and website data. You can also try updating the IBM Cloud app to the latest version from the App Store.
Check: Check if the IBM Cloud app fails to load your resources, or use Safari to access the IBM Cloud Status page to verify if there is a known service disruption.

About

What happens when IBM Cloud goes down

IBM Cloud is a public cloud platform for virtual servers, Kubernetes clusters, object storage, and hosted apps, and teams use it to run production workloads and internal tools. An outage cuts off the console and the API, leaving your hosted apps without the services they need.

Expect console login failures, API calls that time out, CLI commands that hang, and slow page loads in the resource list; the control plane often falters before your workloads do. A Kubernetes cluster may stop scheduling pods or a virtual server may fail to start, and Object Storage requests can return errors while a database connection drops. A region or a single service often takes the hit. The status at the top of each page counts problem reports from other people in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours and shows when they rise above the usual level, which tells you other people are hitting the same wall.

Questions

IBM Cloud FAQ

Is IBM Cloud down right now?

The status at the top of this page shows whether user problem reports for IBM Cloud are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. This site does not ping, probe, poll or monitor the service itself, so read that banner as a signal from other people's reports. For the vendor's own view, open the official status page. If you are the only one affected, load the same console page on mobile data, try a private browser window, and ask a colleague on another network whether they see the same failure.

Why does the ibmcloud CLI keep saying my token expired?

IAM tokens are short lived, so a long session drops out mid-command and the CLI asks you to authenticate again. Run ibmcloud login for a fresh token, or use the --sso flag if your account signs in through an identity provider. When login itself fails at the network step, your proxy or VPN is the usual culprit rather than the platform.

Why does my app work in one IBM Cloud region but fail in another?

Regions are separate deployments, so a service can be fine in Dallas and degraded in Frankfurt at the same time. The banner on this page counts reports for the whole service, which means a regional problem can hide under a low overall total. Note which region your resource sits in, then check the official status page, where incidents are listed by location.

Why can't I create a resource when my account is active?

Most often you have hit a quota or you lack the IAM permission for that resource group, and the console only tells you the request could not be completed. Check your access under Manage > Access (IAM) and confirm which resource group it covers. If every region refuses new resources, that points at the platform rather than your account.

Why was my account suspended after a card payment failed?

Pay-as-you-go accounts get suspended when an invoice goes unpaid, and the console still lets you sign in while your services stop. Update the payment method under Billing and payments, then raise a case through the help centre to get the account reinstated. That is an account state, not an outage, so the report banner here will look normal while your resources stay dark.

How we track IBM Cloud

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for IBM Cloud, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for IBM Cloud, 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 IBM Cloud'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.
