When DeepSeek fails

DeepSeek makes the DeepSeek models, available in its chat app and through its API. Demand spikes after a model release have repeatedly slowed or paused the chat and new sign-ups.

chat.deepseek.com answers automated checks with an empty bot wall, so this page measures the DeepSeek API instead: a 401 without an API key means it is answering. The chat can fail while the API answers.

If DeepSeek is not working for you

  1. Open deepseek.com on another network, such as mobile data. If it works there, the problem is your connection, your DNS or your VPN.
  2. Update or restart the app, then sign out and back in.
  3. Look for an incident on one feature on status.deepseek.com.

Does DeepSeek have an official status page?

Yes, status.deepseek.com. DeepSeek's team updates it by hand, so it can lag behind the start of an outage; our checks run every minute whatever it says.
