8:24 am PT: “Some customers are unable to load Slack. We’re still actively investigating this issue, but we don’t have any new information to share at this time. We’ll keep you posted as soon as we have an update.”

9:07 am PT: “We’re seeing signs of improvement. Please try reloading Slack, and if not a cache reset. We’re still monitoring the situation. We’ll confirm once this issue is fully resolved.”

10:08 am PT: “We’re continuing to see signs of improvement and are monitoring the situation. If you’re still encountering any trouble, please reload Slack or clear the app cache.”

10:44 am PT: “We’re continuing to see improvements, but we still have some work to do. If you’re still encountering any trouble, please reload Slack using Command + Shift + R (Mac) or Ctrl + Shift + R (Windows/Linux) or clear the app cache (Help > Troubleshooting > Clear Cache and Restart on desktop, Preferences > Advanced > Reset Cache on mobile).”

11:24 am PT: “We’ve resolved the issue, and all impacted customers should now be able to access Slack. You may need to reload Slack (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + R) to see the fix on your end. Thanks for bearing with us and we apologize for the disruption to your work day!”


Slack users started seeing problems just before 6 am PT this morning, sharing details about the issues on Twitter and Down Detector.

After an outage yesterday, Slack confirmed the downtime this morning at 6:25 am PT on its system status page.

Problems include logging in, messaging text, posts, and files, connections, and notifications.

In its first mention of the downtime, the service said “We’re investigating the issue where Slack is not loading for some users. We’re looking into the cause and will provide more information as soon as it’s available.”

We’ll update this post as we learn more.
