Error: Text Checking Is Temporarily Unavailable

If you see the error "Text Checking Is Temporarily Unavailable" when checking a document, please follow the instructions below:

  1. Make sure that you successfully pass the WebSockets tests here. If any section of your test results says Failed, take a look at this article.
  2. Re-login to the Grammarly Editor:
  3. Check whether you can reproduce the issue with your antivirus software and firewall turned off. If not, make sure that your antivirus and firewall software allows web socket connection to capi.grammarly.com. Typically, restrictions can be configured in the "allowed list" or "bypass" section of the antivirus software settings. 

Note: Currently, you can check up to 100,000 characters (including spaces) at a time using the Grammarly Editor. In some cases, users are able to paste documents that exceed 100,000 characters; however, Grammarly may not work as expected.
