The scheduled maintenance to Ably Queues has been completed. --- [2026-06-23T09:00:07.893Z] (in_progress) Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary. --- [2026-06-23T08:00:19.002Z] (scheduled) Maintenance will begin as scheduled in 60 minutes. --- [2026-06-22T10:53:25.015Z] (scheduled) We will be performing an upgrade of the Ably Queue infrastructure during this period. No impact is expected for most users of Ably Queues. During this upgrade, our RabbitMQ clusters will require a minimum `frame_max` of 8192 bytes for AMQP 0-9-1 connections. This is a change introduced in RabbitMQ 4.1 to support larger authentication payloads. For any users of Ably Queues using the `amqplib` library, please ensure you are on version 0.10.7 or later to avoid any disruption. Alternatively, you can explicitly set `frame_max` to 8192 or higher in your connection options. You can see further documentation in the RabbitMQ release notes: https://www.rabbitmq.com/blog/2025/04/15/rabbitmq-4.1.0-is-released#initial-amqp-0-9-1-maximum-frame-size If you have any questions, please speak to our support team who will be happy to help.

Ably Status FAQ

Is Ably down right now?

PulsAPI checks Ably every 60 seconds. The verdict at the top of this page comes from the latest poll of the official Ably status feed and refreshes automatically, so you are not looking at a stale cached answer.

What should I do if Ably is not working?

Check the component list on this page first to see if your failure matches a known outage. If it does, you can report the issue for other engineers, follow the incident timeline for vendor updates, and run any fallback your app supports until Ably recovers.

How do I check Ably uptime history?

PulsAPI tracks Ably uptime over 30, 60, and 90-day rolling windows. The current 30-day uptime is 100.00%. A free PulsAPI account unlocks the full 90-day SLA history and incident timeline for Ably.

How fast does PulsAPI detect Ably outages?

PulsAPI polls the official Ably status page every 60 seconds and usually delivers alerts to Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or email in under 4 seconds after detection. That is often faster than someone on your team notices on their own.

Does PulsAPI track individual Ably components?

Yes. PulsAPI monitors 28 individual Ably components, so you can see which service or region is affected instead of a generic "service degraded" banner.

Can I get alerts when Ably goes down?

Yes. Create a PulsAPI account and subscribe to Ably. Email alerts are included on the free Starter plan. Paid plans add Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, and webhooks whenever Ably status changes.

How do I report an issue with Ably to the community?
