Status: Scheduled Clerk will perform planned database maintenance on Saturday 19 September 2026 between 13:30 and 14:30 UTC. Signed-in end users stay signed in and your application keeps working for them throughout.

 

  Within that window we expect a brief interruption of a few minutes, around 14:00 UTC, during which operations that write data — including new sign-ins and sign-ups — will be temporarily rejected. The window is wider than the expected impact to allow for preparation and verification.

 

  What continues to work, including during the interruption

 

  - Active sessions. Users already signed in remain signed in, and their session tokens continue to refresh normally. No one is signed out.

  - All read operations across the Frontend and Backend APIs — users, organizations, sessions, and other resources.

  - Session verification. Your backend can continue to verify session tokens as usual.

 

  What is briefly unavailable during the interruption

 

  - New sign-ins and sign-ups. Users not already signed in will not be able to authenticate for those few minutes.

  - All write operations on the Frontend and Backend APIs — creating or updating users, organizations, memberships, invitations, and similar.

  - The Clerk Dashboard remains readable, but changes cannot be saved.

  - Clerk as an OAuth provider — /oauth/token, /oauth/authorize, /oauth/device_authorization, /oauth/end_session are unavailable.

  - Webhook events are not emitted for activity during the interruption.

 

  What you will see

 

  Affected requests return HTTP 503 with the error code maintenance_mode. If your integration retries on 503, requests will succeed once the interruption passes — no action is required on your side. We recommend not scheduling bulk imports, migrations, or backfills against the Clerk API during this window.
