Taken as is from Ably's own status page API. Incident titles and component names below are theirs.
Open status.ably.comWhat UpButler measured
There is no keyless endpoint of Ably that says anything useful, so UpButler does not probe it. To check your own Ably account, add a monitor with your key: it is yours alone and catches what a shared probe cannot.

Get alerted when Ably goes down
No account. One email when Ably reports an incident, one when it is over. You confirm the address first, and every email has a one-click unsubscribe.
Or follow the RSS feed. On UpButler? Add Ably as a dependency to route it to Slack, Teams or a webhook.
Status badge
Show Ably's current status in a README or an internal wiki. It updates by itself.
[](https://upbutler.com/status/ably)Tell your outage from Ably's
Declare that your project depends on Ably. When one of your monitors fails while Ably has an incident that began around the same time, UpButler tags your incident "likely upstream" with their incident linked, says so in the alert and the AI report, and tells your on-call agent not to change code.
npx upbutler init finds the dependency from your env var names and packages. The catalog, dependencies and upstream-aware incidents are on every plan, including Free.

}Questions
- Is Ably down right now?
- No. As of 2026-10-10 07:14 UTC, Ably is up. This page reads the status again every 3 minutes.
- Where does this status come from?
- From Ably's own status page API at https://status.ably.com. UpButler reads it once for everyone (not once per visitor) every 3 minutes with conditional requests, and shows it unchanged: incident titles and component names are Ably's words.
- Can I get an alert when Ably goes down?
- Yes, without an account: enter your email on this page, confirm the link we send, and you get one email when Ably reports an incident and one when it is over. There is also an RSS feed at https://upbutler.com/status/ably/feed.rss. Teams on UpButler can route the same alert to Slack, Teams or a webhook.
- How can my agent or app check Ably status?
- Fetch https://upbutler.com/status/ably/status.agent.json: a small JSON document with a verdict (proceed, retry, fallback or pause) and retryAfterSec. No key is needed. The same answer is an MCP tool, upstream_status {"service":"ably"}, on https://upbutler.com/mcp/public.
- How do I know whether an outage is mine or Ably's?
- Add "ably" to the dependencies of your UpButler workspace. When one of your monitors fails while Ably has an incident that began around the same time, your incident is tagged "likely upstream" with their incident linked, and your on-call agent is told not to change code.
