Understanding Archive of Our Own (AO3) status
What does the AO3 status report cover?
This page uses the Archive of Our Own component on the Organization for Transformative Works (OTW) status page. Fanlore, Transformative Works and Cultures, and the OTW website have separate components; their incidents do not automatically apply to AO3.
Why is AO3 down?
In its October 30, 2026 announcement, OTW said AO3 would remain offline while it investigated and addressed a security incident. That announcement does not establish AO3's current availability. Check the saved official report and the official status page for subsequent updates.
When will AO3 be back up?
OTW's October 30, 2026 announcement estimated at least two weeks of downtime, possibly up to four weeks. Limited or read-only access might return sooner and could be interrupted during recovery. This was an estimate, not a guaranteed recovery date. Check the official updates for changes.
Is AO3 still down?
Check whether the official component report above is fresh and read its collection time. A fresh report describes the saved official status within its scope. A missing or expired report cannot establish whether AO3 is still down, and a collection failure is not proof of an AO3 outage. Open the official status page for the latest updates.
Is AO3 down for maintenance?
The official incident title was "AO3 Down for Maintenance". OTW's October 30, 2026 announcement said AO3 would remain offline while investigating and addressing a security incident. That dated title does not establish current availability, a future scheduled maintenance window or a short recovery time. Use a fresh official component report and its collection time above, and check the official status page for subsequent updates.
