What we measured

• Failed or degraded readings during the window: 7 of 9 checks
• HTTP status codes seen: 200
• Reported by the service: Provider reports: HASISSUES

How we know

We request Perplexity's published status feed where one exists, and separately time a plain request to www.perplexity.ai. A state only changes after two consecutive readings agree, so the recorded window can be a few minutes wider than the true interruption.

This is an independent measurement and we are not affiliated with Perplexity. Their official status page is the authority on cause and affected components.
