About Perplexity
AIWatch Data: Perplexity's reported uptime is 99.97%. Based on AIWatch data from the last 30 days, it experienced 1 incident with an average recovery time of 37 minutes.
Perplexity is an AI-powered answer engine combining LLMs with real-time web search. It offers consumer search at perplexity.ai and an API for developers to access its search-augmented generation capabilities.
AIWatch Insight: Perplexity moved its status page to incident.io in September 2026, which publishes per-component outage records.
When Perplexity is down, the consumer search interface (perplexity.ai), the developer API, or both may fail to return answers. Apps built on Perplexity API for search-augmented generation will lose their search capability.
This page provides real-time status and recent incident details; uptime history is shown only when the official source publishes sufficient comparable records — updated every 5 minutes by AIWatch.
