 ## Bug fixes
 
 - Fix error log message when `mechanism` is missing in authentication config [#8924](https://github.com/emqx/emqx/pull/8924).
+
+- Fixed the response status code for the `/status` endpoint. Before the fix, it always returned 200 even if the EMQX application was not running. Now it returns 503 in that case.
