Is Windsurf down?
How to check Windsurf's status properly
status.codeium.com now redirects to status.windsurf.com — same page, post-acquisition naming.
Like Cursor, Windsurf mixes its own backend with upstream model providers; either layer can be the failure.
Is it down, or is it just you?
A 401 or 403 error is almost always your own auth — an expired token or a session that needs re-login, not an outage. A run of 5xx errors, or a 529 "overloaded" response, during an incident that's actually listed on the vendor's status page is on them, not you.
Before you conclude it's a real outage: try a second surface (the web app instead of the CLI, or vice versa), rule out your own network or VPN, and only then treat the vendor's official status page as the final word.
What to do while Windsurf is down
- Switch models first — Windsurf Pro exposes several providers, and upstream incidents usually hit one.
- Local editing, git, and terminals are unaffected by backend outages — only AI features stop.
