What to Do When Xero Is Down

Xero problems split into the web application and the API, and accounting teams and integrations notice completely different things. Bank feeds are the usual first casualty: a feed that has stopped importing is far more common than Xero being unreachable, and it is often a connection to a specific bank rather than a Xero-wide problem.

Xero's API enforces rate limits per organisation and per app, and hitting them produces errors that look exactly like an outage from inside an integration. Before assuming a service problem, check whether your app has been retrying aggressively. A retry storm against a rate limit is self-sustaining and will not clear on its own.

Note the regional split. Xero serves several regions and an incident can be confined to one, so a UK practice and an Australian practice can genuinely have different experiences of the same hour.

Xero Status Page vs PulsAPI

Xero publishes status by product area, which covers the web app well. Bank feeds are the awkward case: a feed failure often sits between Xero and a specific financial institution, and neither side's status page treats it as an incident.

PulsAPI's independent check will not diagnose an individual bank feed either, because nothing external can. What it does give you is a timestamped record of Xero's own availability, so you can rule the platform in or out quickly instead of spending the first twenty minutes deciding whether it is Xero, the bank, or your integration.

Xero Status FAQ

Is Xero down right now?

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

What should I do if Xero 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 Xero recovers.

How do I check Xero uptime history?

PulsAPI tracks Xero 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 Xero.

How fast does PulsAPI detect Xero outages?

PulsAPI polls the official Xero 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 Xero components?

Yes. PulsAPI monitors 34 individual Xero components, so you can see which service or region is affected instead of a generic "service degraded" banner.

Can I get alerts when Xero goes down?

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

How do I report an issue with Xero 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 Xero problems early. Official status pages often lag real incidents by 10 to 20 minutes.

Is there a free way to monitor Xero?

Yes. PulsAPI's Starter plan includes up to 25 monitored services with Slack and email alerts, and the 30-day free trial requires no credit card. You can monitor Xero alongside up to 24 other services at pulsapi.com/signup.
