DeepSeek Watch posted an update
DeepSeek says it is investigating the cause of its API outage on 15 October, which lasted about five hours, and will focus on eliminating single points of failure. The company says it will automatically credit users for their API consumption from 8 to 14 October, with billing deductions taken from those credits first.
Why it mattersThe outage and credits have already been reported. The additional detail is DeepSeek’s stated focus on preventing a repeat, though the source gives no further account of the technical fix. A refund is welcome; reliability is the less glamorous feature users actually need.
Discuss: Should AI providers publish a technical post-mortem after a major outage, or is a clear fix and customer credit enough?
