Is Mapbox Down Right Now?
Usually not. Mapbox serves maps to thousands of apps, and full outages are uncommon. If you searched Mapbox down or is Mapbox down, a blank map on your site is often a token or style problem. This Mapbox status page tracks live reports from other developers.
Mapbox provides map tiles, the GL JS web library, mobile SDKs, geocoding, and directions APIs. Developers style their own maps in Mapbox Studio and load them with an access token.
When the platform does fail, maps break across many apps at once and reports pile up here. One app with a grey box is almost always a local configuration issue.
Is Mapbox Down for Me or Everyone?
Open the official Mapbox demo map in your browser. If it loads, the platform works and your token or code is at fault. If it fails too, check this page and the Mapbox status page.
Teams ask, is Mapbox down for me or did our token break? A map failing in one app while other Mapbox apps load points at your token, style, or billing, not a Mapbox outage.
Why Is My Mapbox Map Blank or Grey?
Start with the browser console. Token errors, a wrong style URL, and missing WebGL support all print clear messages there. WebGL is required for GL JS, and old browsers or disabled hardware acceleration block it.
A map that loads without labels or roads often points at the style. If the style was deleted or the URL has a typo, tiles render empty while the container still shows.
Why Does Mapbox Return a 401 or 403 Error?
A 401 means the token is missing, wrong, or not allowed for that use. Secret tokens never belong in client code. Public tokens should carry only the scopes your app needs.
A 403 often means URL restrictions. If you locked the token to your domain, test pages on other domains, localhost setups, and preview links will be refused until you add them.
Why Did My Mapbox Bill Jump This Month?
Mapbox bills per use: map loads, geocoding calls, and directions requests each count. A traffic spike, a bot, or a page that reloads the map in a loop can multiply usage overnight.
Check the usage graphs in your account by token and service. If one token drives the spike, restrict it by URL and rotate it, since public tokens can be copied from your page source.
Common Mapbox Problems and Fixes
Map tiles not loading
Open the console and fix the first error shown. Confirm the token and style URL in your code match the values in your Mapbox account exactly.
Access token invalid error
Create a fresh public token with the needed scopes and swap it in. Delete the old token once the new one works so copies of it die too.
Style changes not showing
Publish the style in Studio, then hard-refresh your page. Browsers and the Mapbox CDN cache tiles, so give fresh styles a few minutes to spread.
Geocoding returns wrong results
Pass a country and proximity hint with your queries. Bare place names match the biggest city first, which is often not the one your user meant.
Map works on desktop but not mobile
Test WebGL support in the mobile browser and check the container has a real height. A zero-height div is the most common mobile-only blank map.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I restrict a Mapbox public token to my website?
Open the token in your Mapbox account and add URL restrictions for your domains. Requests from other sites then fail, which stops strangers from spending your quota.
What counts as a map load in Mapbox billing?
Loading a GL JS or mobile map starts a session that Mapbox counts under its pricing rules. Check your account usage page to see loads split by token and service.
Why does my Mapbox style look old after I publish changes?
Published styles spread through the Mapbox CDN and browsers cache tiles hard. Wait a few minutes and hard-refresh before you assume the publish failed.
Does Mapbox work fully offline?
Mobile SDKs can cache areas for limited offline use, but Mapbox is built as an online service. Search, traffic, and fresh styles all need a live connection.
Why is Mapbox GL JS not supported in this browser?
GL JS needs WebGL to draw vector maps. Very old browsers, strict privacy modes, and disabled graphics acceleration in settings can all block WebGL.
How do I check the Mapbox system status?
Mapbox runs a public status page for its APIs and tiles, and this page shows developer reports. If both are quiet, debug your token and code first.
