Monitoring
Some users experienced delayed or missing real-time updates in Notion during an earlier disruption around 2am PDT on October 13 and again from approximately 7:30am to 8:45am PDT. Degraded performance for page creation, updates in the Notion API and image uploads to Notion AI has also been reported. We have applied mitigations for the real-time update disruption and are monitoring recovery. We are confirming whether the reported API impact has fully recovered. We apologize for the disruption.

Monitoring
We are preparing an infrastructure migration to address the recent disruptions to real-time updates in Notion and improve service reliability. The production migration is planned to begin next Tuesday, October 20, at 2pm PDT. During the migration, users may experience: • Delayed or missing real-time updates in Notion. • Slower page creation and updates through the Notion API and MCP. • Failures uploading screenshots in Notion AI chats. • Failures or delays in custom agent runs. • Delays when adding members to workspaces. Our team will closely monitor these features during the migration. We apologize for any disruption and appreciate your patience.

The infrastructure migration to improve service reliability is now in progress. We are observing stability before gracefully retiring the old cluster and completing the migration. We will share further updates as the migration progresses or the completion estimate changes.

What our checkpoints saw
HostTracker's checkpoints, which test www.notion.so from several locations, recorded no outage of 5 minutes or longer during this incident. A provider can report a problem that affects only some features, regions or accounts, which a check of the main address does not see. The live Notion status shows what our checks see right now.
Does your product depend on Notion?
An outage like this one reaches your users through your product, and most teams hear about it from a customer rather than from a dashboard. HostTracker watches any endpoint you name - your own site, an API you call, a vendor you resell - from 300+ locations, confirms a failure from several of them before it says anything, and then tells you by email, SMS, voice call or your chat tool.
You get the same record you are reading here for your own services: every outage timestamped, with the checks that observed it.
