These are Ably's components, named and scored by Ably. We do not map them onto the functions we check above, because we have no way to know which of their components our checks touch. Two lists, side by side, neither one rewriting the other.

This is Ably's own claim about their service, shown separately from what we measured. We never change our own numbers based on what a vendor reports, and this reading never changes theirs. Read both.

Why some readings show as awaiting data. 1 of 8 readings for Ably came back as a filtered response to our automated checks (a response code that refuses automated clients, such as 403, 405, 406, 429 or 451, a redirect loop, or a timeout that a second endpoint answered) rather than a normal pass or failure. That tells us about our own probe's reception, not about Ably's health, so we publish no verdict for those readings rather than guessing in either direction. Read how we tell the difference.

Check your own site while you wait on Ably

Watching an outage above does not tell you whether your own connection or site is also having a problem. Enter your own URL for one live check, right now, no signup. This checks the site you enter, not Ably. It cannot diagnose Ably's own systems.

What we measured, function by function

Ably answers on more than one surface, and they can fail apart. Each row is one surface, checked from the same regions. The verdict above follows the api row, because that is the surface we treat as this service's own; a failure on any other row is a partial outage, not a full one.

These are unverified reports from people using Ably, counted separately from what our own probes measure. Anyone can file one, no account is needed, and the region on a report is chosen by the person filing it. We never open, extend or close an outage in our record based on report volume: only our own measurements do that. We have not received any reports for Ably yet, which is not evidence that nothing is wrong.

check entries are our own probes' readings; declared entries are the vendor's. How this check works

We have been measuring Ably since November 2, 2026. We show nothing from before that date, and we never add an outage we did not observe ourselves, from any source.

What our check can and cannot see

A pass means the service returned real data from its own backend, with the content we expect. It does not show that every feature, account type or region works, or that sign-in is healthy.

Host checked: rest.ably.io

RealUptime is not affiliated with Ably; the name identifies what we checked, and nothing here speaks for Ably's own team. We send a single web request to Ably from 4 regions on our own schedule and time the response. We do not see inside Ably's systems, do not use an account or real transaction, and are not the same signal Ably's own team has access to. Treat this as one external data point, not a verdict. At least one endpoint we check for Ably is a real functional API call (marked “functional” above), not just a landing page, so a passing check there says an API answered, though it still does not show that every feature of the service works for you. Ably operates in a limited set of regions, so we only check it from where it is actually available; we do not probe from a region we know it does not serve. We started monitoring this service on November 2, 2026 (3 of 14 days so far, 3861 of 500 checks). We show a full track record once we have enough continuous history. Check back soon, or monitor your own site continuously with RealUptime. Read the full methodology.
