IUCN originally assessed the ochre-breasted foliage-gleaner as Near Threatened but since 2004 has classed it as being of Least Concern. It has a large range but its population size is not known and is believed to be decreasing. No immediate threats have been identified.^[1] It is considered uncommon to common in different parts of its range. It occurs in several protected areas. "Extensive deforestation within its relatively small range has dramatically reduced [the] amount of available habitat; nevertheless, [the species] seems able to persist in degraded forest fragments."^[4]
