ESTA not working for me but the status is fine. What now?

It is usually local: try another browser or the app, switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, and clear the cache. For travel services, watch for booking and check-in failures, flight-status pages not loading, and app errors. If many people report ESTA here at once, the problem is on ESTA's side.
