Quick check: is Tabnine down right now?
- Prismix: prismix.dev/service/tabnine — live status + 30-day uptime + incidents.
- API call:
curl https://prismix.dev/api/v1/statuses | jq '.services[] | select(.id=="tabnine")' - Direct test: Check connectivity to
hub.tabnine.comon port 443 — the Tabnine extension requires this connection for completions. Use the Tabnine output panel in VS Code (View → Output → Tabnine) for connection diagnostics.
Common causes of "Tabnine not working"
- Code completions stopped appearing in VS Code — Tabnine requires an active connection to
hub.tabnine.comon port 443. Open the Tabnine output panel (View → Output → Tabnine) to see connection errors. Corporate firewalls often block the WebSocket connections that Tabnine uses — whitelisthub.tabnine.comin your proxy settings to restore completions. - Tabnine Basic vs Pro completions — Tabnine Basic provides short single-line completions only. Tabnine Pro enables whole-line, full-function, and natural language completions. After logging in, confirm Pro features are active — the VS Code status bar should show "Tabnine Pro". Free users see suggestions labeled as Pro but receive only a limited subset of completions.
- Completions outdated or suggesting deprecated patterns — Tabnine's team learning model learns from your repository over time. If suggestions use old patterns, enable Tabnine Team to update the model based on recent commits. Initial indexing of a large repository can take several hours. Check indexing progress in the Tabnine Hub dashboard.
- High CPU or memory usage by the Tabnine extension — On first install, Tabnine's indexer background-processes your entire codebase. Restrict the indexed directory to your source code by excluding
node_modules,.git, anddistvia thetabnine.excludedFilessetting. The local model option requires more RAM but reduces outbound network traffic. - Tabnine Local Model not loading — Tabnine Enterprise supports running a local model on-premises, which requires a minimum of 16 GB RAM and a 4-core CPU. The local model binary must be manually installed via the Tabnine Hub. If the local model crashes, Tabnine silently falls back to cloud completions — watch the status bar to confirm which mode is active.
- JetBrains plugin not activating after IDE update — Tabnine's JetBrains plugin must be compatible with the installed IDE version. After updating IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, or another JetBrains IDE, the plugin may disable itself automatically. Re-enable it via Settings → Plugins. If the current plugin version does not yet support the new IDE version, a compatible Tabnine release typically ships within 1–2 weeks of major IDE updates.
