What should I do if Firebase is down for me?

Check your connection limit and pool settings first, since exhausting connections looks exactly like the database being down. Retry with a longer timeout, because a serverless or scale-to-zero instance may simply be waking up. Confirm your credentials and IP allowlist have not changed, as an auth or firewall denial reads as a failed query. Query from another network or client to establish whether the cluster or your route to it is the problem.

Is Firebase down right now?

HTTP 200

Over the last 7 days, Firebase has answered our automated checks with 100.00% availability and a typical response time of ~362 ms. The most recent outage began 2026-09-18 07:36 UTC and lasted 15m (severity: degraded).

Firebase provides Google's app development backend, including Firestore, Authentication, Cloud Messaging, and Hosting. Its services fail independently and mobile clients cache aggressively, so an Authentication incident locks out new sign-ins while already-signed-in users keep working normally.

Is Firebase down for everyone or just you?

Our automated checks are reaching Firebase normally right now, and it answered our last one in 431ms. That makes any trouble you are hitting more likely to be local to your connection, account or network than a full outage, which usually means you can fix it from your end.
