No downtime Partial Downtime Not measurable No data

Measured by FlareWarden's own checks of quickbooks.intuit.com from multiple regions every 6 hours. QuickBooks Online's status page sets the verdict above when it reports trouble, but never these figures. Percentages count only checks that returned an availability answer — 10 days measured so far. A dash means that window does not yet hold enough measured days to publish a figure.

What QuickBooks Online does

QuickBooks Online is Intuit's cloud accounting product, used by small businesses and their bookkeepers for invoicing, expenses, payroll and tax preparation. It holds the books rather than a copy of them, so an outage stops invoicing and reconciliation outright, and lands hardest at month end and around tax deadlines.

What an outage looks like

The dashboard fails to load or hangs on a spinner after login. Invoices will not save, or save without syncing to the customer record. Bank feeds stop importing new transactions, so reconciliation shows a gap rather than an error. Payroll runs may fail to submit, and connected apps report authentication failures against the QuickBooks API.

What to do about it

Check status.quickbooks.intuit.com, which reports QuickBooks Online, Self-Employed and Desktop separately and splits each by region (United States, EMEA, APAC, Canada, LATAM), so confirm your region before concluding anything. Do not re-enter an invoice that appeared to fail; duplicates are harder to unpick than a missing entry. Payroll deadlines are worth escalating to support directly.

Is it down for everyone, or just you?

If this page says QuickBooks Online 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.

QuickBooks Online outage FAQ

Is QuickBooks Online down or is it just my company file?

The status page reports by product and by region, so start there and match your region. If your region is operational and only your company loads slowly, the cause is more often a very large file, a browser extension, or a stale session. Signing in from a private window is the quickest way to separate an account problem from an outage.

Will I lose invoices or transactions entered during an outage?

Anything QuickBooks acknowledged and showed as saved is stored server-side and returns with the service. The uncertainty is over entries submitted while the connection was failing, which may not have landed. Rather than re-entering them immediately, wait for the status page to clear and check the register first, because duplicate transactions take longer to correct than missing ones.

Does a QuickBooks outage stop payroll from running?

It can, and this is the part worth acting on rather than waiting out. Payroll has legal deadlines that an outage does not move, so if a run fails close to a cutoff, contact Intuit support rather than retrying quietly. Intuit reports payroll issues on the same status page, though often within the broader product entry rather than as its own line.

Why have my bank transactions stopped importing?

Bank feeds depend on a connection between QuickBooks and your bank, and either side can break. During a QuickBooks incident the feed pauses and catches up afterwards, usually without losing transactions. If the status page is clear, the more likely cause is an expired bank authorisation, which needs reconnecting from the banking screen rather than waiting.

Can my accountant still access the books during an outage?

No. Accountant access runs through the same platform, so if QuickBooks Online is down for you it is down for them. Regional reporting matters here: an accountant working in a different Intuit region may see a healthy service while you do not. Agree a fallback such as exported reports before a deadline rather than during one.

How we measure this

We request QuickBooks Online'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 403 or 429 means 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 QuickBooks Online 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 QuickBooks Online 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 QuickBooks Online goes down

We check QuickBooks Online 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.
