About Runway
AIWatch Data: Runway's reported uptime is 99.86%. Based on AIWatch data from the last 30 days, it experienced 2 incidents with an average recovery time of 42 minutes.
Runway is a hosted generative-video AI platform (Gen-4 video, Act-Two character animation) used to generate and edit video from text and image prompts. Developers reach it through the web app and the Public API.
AIWatch Insight: AIWatch tracks Runway's availability surfaces — Public API, App, and Backend — using a worst-of badge, so an API or backend outage is reflected even when the marketing site loads. Billing and Support are excluded from the status signal to avoid non-availability noise.
When Runway is down, video-generation jobs (Gen-4, Act-Two) 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, uptime history, and recent incident details — updated every 5 minutes by AIWatch.
