About Runway

AIWatch Data: Runway's reported uptime is 99.98%. Based on AIWatch data from the last 30 days, it experienced 5 incidents with an average recovery time of 2h 12m.

Runway is a hosted generative-video AI platform used to generate and edit video from text and image prompts. Developers reach it through the web app and its API.

When Runway is down, video-generation jobs queue or fail, the editor stops rendering, and API requests return errors — so production pipelines that depend on generated video stall until it recovers.

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.
