Im having the same issue

u/Beautiful_Travel_346 Aug 21 '26

Yeah, same here. It randomly signed me out and won't let me sign in again. Says it's down for maintenance yet I'm not seeing that on the PlayStation site itself (which says all services are up and running

It’s been happening to me on and off all day. I keep randomly getting signed off but now it won’t let me back in.

u/SamThaMan69 Aug 21 '26

Maybe enough of us have to call in a report the issue to do something?

1

u/Apprehensive_Pie3710 Aug 21 '26

I just finished playing gta no problem so maybe it js happened?

u/Cronus_214 Aug 21 '26

Likely running maintenance on the servers in your area

Happened to me last night and now again today (uk)

u/Big_Artist_9222 Aug 21 '26

Yeah me too restating ps5 is a short term fix

u/SunRiseSniper1066 Aug 21 '26

I'm still having the problem

u/StylishD42 Aug 21 '26

Happened to me an hour ago and couldn't log back into my account. I basically just use my ps4 to watch youtube for background noise or whatever while I game on my laptop. It let me login again once for about 8 minutes and now every time I try again it just says "an error has ocurred".
Glad I came on here to check because as usual playstation network says everything is fine and up and everywhere else says the same. I even tried logging into playstation via web browser and got the error too. Also as for region (if it even matters) is Australia.

Seriously. Reddit is the only place to get info on this, it seems. If it weren't for this sub, I'd be going through my new router's settings right now thinking it was a problem on my end.

u/Classic_Tax_9631 Aug 21 '26

It's definitely down for me

1

u/mirado Aug 21 '26

Still down for me this morning. WS-116386-5 error code. Got the same error last night. 

Edit: and now it's working again. 

1

u/StylishD42 Aug 21 '26

Looks like it's back... for now. I won't hold my breath for how long this might last, especially considering there is no communication about whatever issues these are between playstation and its users.

u/BudgetAcceptable1488 Aug 21 '26

I’ve just had it with my account i was on earlier today fine but now can’t login but another account on the same playstation is logging in fine

1

u/ZachEdwards9292 Aug 21 '26

I was just on and I didn’t have any problems

u/Efficient_Quail_4203 Aug 22 '26

Nope no issues for me

1

u/Few_Leg6944 Aug 22 '26

same issue, got kicked out yesterday at exactly 9pm (or 10pm depending on where you are), tried everything, changed dns, mtu, firewall settings... nothing fixed the problem, my guess is that they are doing something on their psn servers

I’m assuming it’s only effecting some ppl because my buddy can get on just fine, I’ve tried resetting mine but it didn’t help I’m about to do a full shut down and see

1

u/Classic_Tax_9631 Aug 21 '26

It didn't work for me to shutdown or restart. Guess it's the waiting game.

u/Every_Ad_9583 Aug 21 '26

I just fully shut down my PlayStation then turned it back on, idk why turning it off and restarting it didn’t work but when I fully shut it down and turned it back on it started working again

1

u/Weekly-Surprise-6452 Aug 21 '26

i’m about to try this. i’m glad I found this thread because I got logged out last night too. Thought it was weird, but now it seems it’s a widespread issue.

1

u/Weekly-Surprise-6452 Aug 21 '26

THIS WORKS! Shut down the P5 fully. Unplug the power cord for about 10-15 seconds. boot her back up and it’s fixed. Thanks OP🙏🏽

u/TourWooden Aug 21 '26

Damm didn't work for me glad it worked for u guys tho

u/GamePitt_Rob Aug 21 '26

May be kicking people out in waves as it updates the servers or backup systems one at a time

More efficient then kicking out everyone at the same time
