Is It Down Right Now? Live Status for AI Chat Apps
Check whether Janitor AI, Character AI, SpicyChat, PolyBuzz, Chub AI, Perchance, CrushOn AI, Talkie or Chai is down for everyone or just for you. Tap an app to see its last 24 hours and the fixes that usually work.
How this status checker works
Every 5 minutes our server loads each app’s website and records whether it answered and how long it took. Three failed checks in a row mark an app as down, and slow or failed checks mark it as having problems.
For Janitor AI we also read its official status page, so an incident Janitor has posted shows up here too. Character AI, Talkie and Chai block automated checks, so their status comes from reader reports alone.
A website that loads does not prove chat works. Janitor’s most common fault is slow or stuck replies while the site itself loads fine, which is why the “It is not working for me” button matters. When reports jump well above the usual level for that hour, the app is flagged as having user-reported problems.
What to do when an app is down for you
| What you see | Most likely cause | Try this |
|---|---|---|
| The app shows Down here too | A real outage | Wait it out and check back here, since this page updates every 5 minutes. Reloading the app over and over will not bring it back sooner. |
| Shows Up here, but it will not load for you | Your browser, network or region | Clear the site’s cookies and cache, turn off a VPN or ad blocker, or switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. |
| The site loads but replies hang or fail | The chat model or your proxy, not the website | On Janitor, check your API or proxy settings first. Then see the slow-reply guide below. |
| Error code such as 429, 502 or 521 | Rate limits or the app’s servers | A 429 means too many requests, so wait a few minutes. A 502 or 521 is on the app’s side. |

Why trust this over a general outage site
General outage trackers count every complaint about a brand in the same pile. This page checks the actual chat sites, adds Janitor’s own status feed, and links each fault to a fix written for that app.
Live checks run every 5 minutes, and the 24-hour bar under each app shows exactly when the trouble started.
