My PDI instance is down - HELP ServiceNow !!!

[gouravmelwa]

Hi everyone,

My ServiceNow Personal Developer Instance (PDI) has been down for the past 8–9 days. When I check the instance status, it shows “Last used 17 days ago.”
My PDI - dev315651

Could someone please advise what I should do in this situation? Should I request a new instance?

Hi @gouravmelwa 

I’ve been using my PDI without any issues since this morning, but I’ve noticed several posts in the ServiceNow Community today reporting PDI failures or unavailability. Based on the responses and recent experience, this appears to be a known issue affecting multiple users.

A few points to consider:

There is currently no dedicated support available for PDI, so there isn’t much we can do from our side while the issue is ongoing.

If you can wait, I would recommend waiting a little longer. Some users have reported their PDI coming back online after a few hours, although there is no guaranteed timeframe. Based on recent reports, it may take anywhere from a few hours to 1–2 days.

You can release the current PDI and request a new one, but be aware that you will lose any data or configuration stored in the existing instance.

There have been around 3–4 community posts today about PDI failures or unavailability, so you’re not the only one experiencing this.

The issue might be related to ServiceNow's ongoing transition to a new release and the rebuilding/provisioning of PDIs, which could be contributing to instances being temporarily unavailable.

For now, patience is probably the best approach. If you have important data in the current PDI, I would avoid releasing it and give it some more time. If there is no important data and you need a working environment urgently, requesting a new PDI could be an option.
