Typical Signs:

- Error 503 or 901
- Orange warning on status page
Emergency Maintenance
Unplanned downtime to fix critical issues. No advance warning. Usually happens after a major bug or exploit is discovered.
Typical Signs:
- Sudden disconnect from all games
- Error 500 or 503

Rolling Updates
Background server updates that do not fully take Roblox offline. Some players may experience brief disconnects or longer loading times.
Typical Signs:
- Increased error 277 reports
- Slightly longer load times
- No full downtime message
Xbox Maintenance (Error 901)
Xbox-specific maintenance that affects only console players. PC and mobile remain unaffected.
Typical Signs:

What to Do During Maintenance
01Check official status
Go to status.roblox.com or our live status page at askroblox.com/roblox-status for real-time updates on when Roblox will be back.
02Follow Roblox on Twitter/X
@Roblox and @RobloxStatus post maintenance announcements and estimated return times. These are usually the fastest official updates.
03Do not repeatedly try to join

@RobloxStatusFrequently Asked Questions
+Does Roblox have a regular maintenance schedule?
No. Roblox does not publish a fixed maintenance schedule. Maintenance can happen at any time. Scheduled maintenance is announced on the Roblox status page and Twitter a few hours in advance. Emergency maintenance has no advance notice.
+How long does Roblox maintenance usually last?
Scheduled maintenance typically lasts 15 minutes to 2 hours. Emergency maintenance can vary widely — some resolve in under an hour, others take several hours. Roblox usually posts estimated return times during longer outages.

Check status.roblox.com or our live status checker at askroblox.com/roblox-status. You will see a maintenance label on affected services. Roblox also posts on @RobloxStatus on Twitter/X during maintenance windows.
+What happens to my game during Roblox maintenance?
During maintenance you will typically be disconnected from any active games. Your progress is saved as of the last save point — Roblox auto-saves periodically so you should not lose significant progress unless maintenance happened mid-activity.
+Is Error 901 a maintenance error?
Error 901 specifically means Roblox servers are down for maintenance on Xbox. PC and mobile users are unaffected by Error 901. Check our Error 901 fix page for more details.
