FAQ

Is Plaid down right now?

PulsAPI checks Plaid status continuously. The current status is shown at the top of this page and updates every 60 seconds from the official Plaid status page.

What should I do if my system is impacted by a Plaid outage?

If Plaid is down, report the issue above to inform the community, check the incident timeline for resolution updates from the Plaid team, and activate any graceful degradation your application supports while waiting for recovery.

How do I check Plaid uptime history?

PulsAPI tracks Plaid uptime over 30, 60, and 90-day rolling windows. The 30-day uptime metric is shown in the sidebar on this page. Sign up for a free account to access the full 90-day SLA history and incident timeline.

How fast does PulsAPI detect Plaid outages?

PulsAPI polls the Plaid official status page every 60 seconds and delivers alerts to Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or email in under 4 seconds from detection — faster than most engineers check manually.

Can I get alerts when Plaid goes down?

Yes. Sign up for PulsAPI and subscribe to Plaid. You'll receive instant alerts via email (free), or Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, and webhooks on paid plans — whenever Plaid status changes.

How do I report a Plaid issue to the community?

Click the "Report an issue" button at the top of this page. Select the issue type, severity, and optionally your region and a note. Community reports are anonymous and help other engineers detect outages before the official status page updates — which typically lags real incidents by 10 to 20 minutes.

Does PulsAPI track individual Plaid components?

Yes, where Plaid exposes component data. The components section above shows each tracked Plaid component and its current status. Component-level granularity lets you pinpoint exactly which part of Plaid is affected — not just a generic "service degraded" banner.

Is there a free way to monitor Plaid?

Yes. PulsAPI's Starter plan includes up to 10 monitored services with email alerts and a 15-day free trial — no credit card required. You can monitor Plaid alongside up to 9 other services for free. Sign up at pulsapi.com/signup to get started.
