Kraken Status FAQ

Is Kraken down right now?

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

What should I do if Kraken 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 Kraken recovers.

How do I check Kraken uptime history?

PulsAPI tracks Kraken uptime over 30, 60, and 90-day rolling windows. The current 30-day uptime is 99.70%. A free PulsAPI account unlocks the full 90-day SLA history and incident timeline for Kraken.

How fast does PulsAPI detect Kraken outages?

PulsAPI polls the official Kraken 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 Kraken components?

Yes. PulsAPI monitors 1448 individual Kraken components, so you can see which service or region is affected instead of a generic "service degraded" banner.

Can I get alerts when Kraken goes down?

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

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