What should I do if Devin is not working?

First confirm it is a platform-wide issue by checking prismix.dev/service/devin. If it shows an active outage, the provider is aware and working on a fix. If Prismix shows Operational but you still have issues, the problem may be account-specific, regional, or a local network issue.

Cognition status: Check app.cognition.ai — if the session list doesn't load, the service is likely down.

Common causes of "Devin not working"

Session not starting / spinning indefinitely — Devin provisions a cloud VM for each session; provisioning can take 2-3 minutes on first start. If it spins beyond 5 minutes, cancel and retry. Peak-hour provisioning is slower.
GitHub integration not seeing the repo — Devin requires the GitHub App to be installed on the specific org/repo, not just the user account. Go to GitHub → Settings → Applications → Devin and verify the repo is listed under "Repository access."
Devin can't run npm install / pip install — Devin's environment is sandboxed; some packages with native bindings (node-gyp, CUDA) fail in the sandbox. Devin will usually report the error in its log; the fix is to use pre-built binaries or Docker base images that include the dependency.
PR opened on wrong branch — Devin defaults to creating PRs against the repo's default branch. If your workflow requires PRs against a development branch, specify it explicitly in your task prompt: "open a PR against the `dev` branch."
ACU (compute unit) billing confusion — Devin charges per ACU (compute time + AI calls); a session that idles while waiting for your input still consumes ACUs. Close sessions when not actively using them to avoid unexpected charges.
Devin gets stuck in a loop — agentic tasks can get into retry loops when hitting auth walls, captchas, or ambiguous requirements. If Devin has sent 10+ messages without progress, interrupt with a clarification or a more specific sub-task.
