Open status.prefect.ioWhat UpButler measured
There is no keyless endpoint of Prefect Cloud that says anything useful, so UpButler does not probe it. To check your own Prefect Cloud account, add a monitor with your key: it is yours alone and catches what a shared probe cannot.

Starts
During maintenance, the Prefect Cloud API and UI will be unavailable. Scheduled runs may start late. Automations and run updates may be delayed. Prefect Cloud will return maintenance responses that instruct compatible Prefect clients to wait and retry API requests. Runs already executing will continue, but operations that require the API will be delayed until maintenance is over. Some runs may require manual recovery or rerunning after maintenance depending on the client version, timeouts, and…

Get alerted when Prefect Cloud goes down
No account. One email when Prefect Cloud 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 Prefect Cloud as a dependency to route it to Slack, Teams or a webhook.
Status badge
Show Prefect Cloud's current status in a README or an internal wiki. It updates by itself.
[](https://upbutler.com/status/prefect)Tell your outage from Prefect Cloud's
Declare that your project depends on Prefect Cloud. When one of your monitors fails while Prefect Cloud 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 Prefect Cloud down right now?
- No. As of 2026-10-10 07:14 UTC, Prefect Cloud is up. This page reads the status again every 3 minutes.
- Where does this status come from?
- From Prefect Cloud's own status page API at https://status.prefect.io. 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 Prefect Cloud's words.
- Can I get an alert when Prefect Cloud goes down?
- Yes, without an account: enter your email on this page, confirm the link we send, and you get one email when Prefect Cloud reports an incident and one when it is over. There is also an RSS feed at https://upbutler.com/status/prefect/feed.rss. Teams on UpButler can route the same alert to Slack, Teams or a webhook.
- How can my agent or app check Prefect Cloud status?
- Fetch https://upbutler.com/status/prefect/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":"prefect"}, on https://upbutler.com/mcp/public.
- How do I know whether an outage is mine or Prefect Cloud's?
- Add "prefect" to the dependencies of your UpButler workspace. When one of your monitors fails while Prefect Cloud 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.
