When is it expected to be available?

503 when accessing https://platform.deepseek.com/

[pavelppp]

try this : https://api-docs.deepseek.com/zh-cn/

any language of docs leads to the same https://platform.deepseek.com/api_keys that's not opening with err 503

@stack-heap-overflow please help! :)

[dinithaw]

Deepseek servers can't handle the demand it seems! @openai & sam altman also giving DDoS attacks 😞

[ZenDarkmaster]

Hey @enochkan , could you please help with this issue?
I've been trying to access the API for 4 days or more, but I keep getting a 503 error...

Same situations, I have api keys before it crushed, but I also can not use it at all. There will be error responses with api requests.

I want this to be back up its so much better than openai and its just as good as Claude 3.5

[kevintsai1202]

When will this be fixed? I'm wasting my tokens but only getting empty strings in return!

[thejohnd0e]

Same issue, I wanted to pay for API but I can't do it.

Не работает. Ни каких официальных пояснений нет.

Не работает. Ни каких официальных пояснений нет.

Скорее всего ДДОС

[Mcayear]

There was no blockade, it has now been restored.

According to the display, when the API webpage has been suspended for 10 days.

[thejohnd0e]

now there's a message:
Due to current server resource constraints, we have temporarily suspended API service recharges to prevent any potential impact on your operations. Existing balances can still be used for calls. We appreciate your understanding!

[nazarhktwitch]

It works now!
