TreasuryDirect outages and problems

How to fix TreasuryDirect not working
TreasuryDirect 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 treasurydirect.gov over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Reload and restart
Reload the page (Ctrl+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac), or fully close the app and open it again.
Try another connection
Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. If it works on one and not the other, the problem is your network, not TreasuryDirect.
Update the app
Install the latest version from the App Store or Google Play. Old versions can stop connecting after a server-side change.
While TreasuryDirect is down: what to use instead
- Brokerage account A brokerage account can hold Treasury bills and bonds, so use one if you need to place a Treasury order and the site will not load.
- Bank certificate of deposit A certificate of deposit at a bank gives you a fixed term for cash, so use one if you can leave the money alone until it matures.
- Credit union savings account A savings account at a credit union works for cash you want to keep separate from the service while it is down.
- TreasuryDirect phone support Call the phone line if you need account help and cannot sign in.
Problems at the same time as TreasuryDirect
Since 27 October, TreasuryDirect's only spike 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.

How we track TreasuryDirect
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for TreasuryDirect, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for TreasuryDirect, 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. TreasuryDirect doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
