How to fix OpenRouter not working
OpenRouter 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:
Check OpenRouter server status
If you searched "is OpenRouter down" or "is OpenRouter down right now," check the live OpenRouter server status: operational, 100.00% uptime over 24 hours, 0 reports, and more than 24 hours since the last outage. The OpenRouter down detector may lag during a short incident.
Refresh your API session
For "OpenRouter not working today," sign out, clear the site cache, then create a fresh API key before testing a model request. Search for "OpenRouter outage today 2026" if every model fails after that.
Check network and DNS
Restart your router and switch to mobile data, then compare the OpenRouter network status with your local connection. If you ask "is OpenRouter working," try a public DNS resolver and test again.

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