Perplexity Not Working: Common Fixes

Perplexity may stop working because of an outage, sign-in problem, browser state, network issue, or a failed search request.

Target keyword: perplexity not working

What it means

Separate a general service issue from a single failed query before changing browsers or deleting local data.

Quick checks

  • Check Perplexity's service status and try a normal refresh.
  • Use a private window or another network to isolate browser and connection issues.
  • Try a shorter query or new thread if only one search is stuck.

Keep working
