DoorDash is down live — app crashing and ordering unavailable in major outage


Refresh

Is it working again? Perhaps

We’ve been keeping an eye on what people are reporting online and it looks like DoorDash is slowly starting to work. @alysonvelvet on X says that it’s working again, which is a good sign that things are turning around. But now comes the hard part: compensating users and drivers for orders.


To eat, or not to eat? That is, the question

DoorDash drivers who picked up orders but were unable to deliver them due to the outage have a pickle of their own to deal with. Case in point: X user @john_wall_ontop shared a photo of a DoorDash delivery, asking if he should just keep the order at this point.

Even though there are still many users who are unable to access DoorDash, it could slowly be coming back online for some. According to Downdectector, reports have dwindled to around 20,000 in the most recent update.

We tried logging into DoorDash again through a browser, but we’re still unable to get anywhere. The error message above is what we’re greeted to, with the Error Details report hinting to some sort of DNS error. From the looks of it, the outage could be related to its login and authentication system.


How’s it going for you?

While we continue to look after the DoorDash outage, what’s your experience like? Were you one of the people who placed an order, but unable to receive them due to drivers not able to access the app?

There’s been a drop in reports according to Downdetector at around 10:32 a.m. ET, which may be a clue to a potential fix in place. We’ve been trying to log into the app, but have no luck yet.


Delivery drivers are put in a tough position

While complaints continue to roll in with this DoorDash outage, which is preventing users from placing orders and accessing the app, delivery drivers are just as much in a tough position. Due to the outage, they’re unable to log into the app to complete orders. @paulyp845 on X says that “I’m locked in for my hourly rate… I’m waiting at my pickup location patiently while still on the clock even though the app won’t let me log in!”

This is a major outage because Downdetector now has over 35,000 reports about DoorDash. It’s been about an hour since the first spike occurred and users are still unable to access the app and service.


What should DoorDash do in this case?

User @kel_fc makes on X makes a good point about this massive outage going on with DoorDash at the moment because of the orders that were placed prior to the outage. What do you think DoorDash should do to compensate users who placed orders but are unable to receive them?

Sometimes these outages only affect certain platforms, like mobile apps, but this DoorDash outage appears to be more widespread because it’s also affecting its online portal. If you try to log in with your account, you’ll likely be greeted to some kind of error.

For most of the U.S., people are still starting their mornings and there’s no better way to do that than ordering a coffee or breakfast on DoorDash. Unfortunately, users are unable to access the service through the app because of the outage.
