91-day clean streakMeasured by FlareWarden's own checks of plex.tv from multiple regions every 6 hours. Plex's status page sets the verdict above when it reports trouble, but never these figures. Percentages count only checks that returned an availability answer — 90 days measured so far. A dash means that window does not yet hold enough measured days to publish a figure.
What Plex does
Plex organises a personal media library and streams it to phones, TVs and browsers, alongside free ad-supported channels and live TV. The media usually sits on hardware in your own home, but discovery, sign-in and remote access route through Plex's servers, so an outage can lock you out of files you physically own.
What an outage looks like
Clients fail to sign in and show an empty server list, even though the server on your network is running. Remote streaming stops while playback on the same local network continues. Artwork, titles and descriptions vanish and are replaced by filenames, because metadata is fetched from Plex. Watch Together and mobile notifications stop working.
What to do about it
Check status.plex.tv, which lists the authentication and API server, the hosted web app, remote access, media metadata and live TV guide data as separate components. If sign-in is the problem, clients already signed in keep working, so avoid signing out. Local playback usually continues via a direct connection to your server on the same network.
Is it down for everyone, or just you?
If this page says Plex is up but it is not loading for you, the problem is between you and them. Run a check against any URL from up to 17 cities across three regions to find out where it breaks.

How we measure this
- We request Plex's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — the most recent check ran from 8 of them. When you open this page and our last check is more than 30 minutes old, we check again on the spot; those checks update the verdict, never the availability figures.
- A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A
403or429means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage. - A single failing region is treated as probe noise. Our checks only change their verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
- Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
- Where Plex publishes an official status feed we read it too, and the verdict is the worse of what it reports and what our checks see: a major outage of Plex itself is Down, trouble with one part of it is Degraded, problems at a few of a provider's many locations change nothing, and a security notice that marks nothing down is shown but changes nothing either. We check the feed every 3 minutes and read it again within minutes of any change to its incidents or components; a reading counts for 45 minutes after the last check that found nothing changed. The availability figures above are our measurement alone.
Get alerted when Plex goes down
We check Plex every 6 hours, and again when you open this page if that was more than 30 minutes ago. Your own monitors run as often as every 30 seconds, from up to 17 cities across three regions, and tell you the moment something breaks.
