Xero Uptime History

Daily uptime recorded by PulsAPI over the last 90 days, with the days that carried a Xero incident marked. Each day is measured from our own checks, so the record continues even when the vendor publishes nothing.

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.

Live Xero Outage Reports

Xero Status FAQ

Is Xero down right now?

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. PulsAPI re-checks a vendor every 60 seconds whenever it is not fully operational, or has changed status in the last 30 minutes, so an incident is always on the fastest cadence. Vendors that are stable and rarely watched are re-checked every 5 to 20 minutes instead.

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 99.94%. The 90-day uptime strip on this page is public: no account needed. A free account adds alerts whenever Xero changes state, plus 15 days of incident detail; Pro extends that to 90 days and Business to 13 months.

How fast does PulsAPI detect Xero outages?

PulsAPI reads the official Xero status page. PulsAPI re-checks a vendor every 60 seconds whenever it is not fully operational, or has changed status in the last 30 minutes, so an incident is always on the fastest cadence. Vendors that are stable and rarely watched are re-checked every 5 to 20 minutes instead. Alerts reach Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or email within seconds of detection.

Does PulsAPI track individual Xero components?

Yes. PulsAPI monitors 36 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 free account and subscribe to Xero: 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 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. The free plan covers 3 monitored services with unlimited email alerts, permanently, so Xero 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.

Track Xero with the rest of your stack

2463+ vendors in one dashboard, and an email the moment any of them changes state. Three free, and no monitor limit at all from $29/mo, unlike the alternatives, which keep charging by the monitor.
