Incident history from the official Prefect Cloud status page, including resolution updates.

Flow Runs Crashing on Modal Push Work PoolsResolved Oct 16, 2026 · 22 minResolved

This incident has been resolved and Modal push pools are fully operational. --- [2026-10-16T20:08:02Z] (identified) Since 18:00 UTC on October 16, most flow runs on Modal push work pools crash during infrastructure startup. Affected runs move from Pending to Crashed with the message "sandbox exited with non-zero code 137." We have tracked the issue to an upgrade in the Modal client library and working to roll back.

Routine scheduled database maintenanceResolved Oct 10, 2026 · 1h 21mResolved

Maintenance is still ongoing. Apologies for the delay --- [2026-10-10T18:49:17Z] (maintenance_in_progress) **Scheduled maintenance extended to 3:30 PM ET** Our scheduled maintenance is taking longer than planned, and we're extending the window to **3:30 PM ET (19:30 UTC)**. Part of the planned database work needs additional time to complete safely. --- [2026-10-10T18:00:00Z] (maintenance_in_progress) Maintenance has started --- [2026-10-10T17:55:46Z] (maintenance_scheduled) Maintenance will begin in about 5 minutes. --- [2026-10-09T13:38:40Z] (maintenance_scheduled) During maintenance, the Prefect Cloud API and UI will be unavailable. Scheduled runs may start late. Automations and run updates may be delayed. Prefect Cloud will return maintenance responses that instruct compatible Prefect clients to wait and retry API requests. Runs already executing will continue, but operations that require the API will be delayed until maintenance is over. Some runs may require manual recovery or rerunning after maintenance depending on the client version, timeouts, and infrastructure configuration. For critical workloads, avoid executions that overlap the window where possible. After maintenance, check affected runs and their actual execution status before rerunning them.

Elevated API Error RatesResolved Oct 1, 2026Resolved

Between 11:08 and 11:16 AM EDT, a subset of requests to the Prefect Cloud API returned elevated error rates. Some users may have seen failed or slow API requests and delays in background processing during this window. The issue has been resolved and all services are operating normally.

Prefect Cloud Status FAQ

Is Prefect Cloud down right now?

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

What should I do if Prefect Cloud 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 Prefect Cloud recovers.

How do I check Prefect Cloud uptime history?

PulsAPI tracks Prefect Cloud uptime over 30, 60, and 90-day rolling windows. The current 30-day uptime is 100.00%. The 90-day uptime strip on this page is public: no account needed. A free account adds alerts whenever Prefect Cloud changes state, plus 15 days of incident detail; Pro extends that to 90 days and Business to 13 months.

How fast does PulsAPI detect Prefect Cloud outages?

PulsAPI reads the official Prefect Cloud status page. PulsAPI re-checks it every 60 seconds. Alerts reach Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or email once a change has held for 5 minutes, so a one-minute blip does not page you.

Does PulsAPI track individual Prefect Cloud components?

Yes. PulsAPI monitors 10 individual Prefect Cloud components, so you can see which service or region is affected instead of a generic "service degraded" banner.

Can I get alerts when Prefect Cloud goes down?

Yes. Create a free account and subscribe to Prefect Cloud: the free plan covers three services with unlimited email alerts and no monthly notification cap. Paid plans lift the monitor limit entirely (Pro and above do not meter how many vendors you watch) and route the same alerts into Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty and webhooks.

How do I report an issue with Prefect Cloud to the community?

Click "Report an issue" at the top of this page, pick the issue type and severity, and optionally add your region and a short note. Reports are anonymous and help other engineers spot Prefect Cloud problems early. Official status pages often lag real incidents by 10 to 20 minutes.

Is there a free way to monitor Prefect Cloud?

Yes. The free plan covers 3 monitored services with unlimited email alerts, permanently, so Prefect Cloud plus two more costs nothing. Every new account also opens with a 30-day Business trial (unlimited monitors, Slack alerts, SLA reporting) with no credit card.
