According to 1M AI News monitoring, DeepSeek’s status page shows that on March 31 at 17:02 (CST), performance anomalies occurred simultaneously for both the web and API services, with recovery at 18:05, lasting for about 1 hour. Previously, the five outages earlier this month were all marked as “Web/APP” or “Web”; this is the first time the API service has been included in the affected scope. This means that not only front-end users, but also third-party applications and developers connecting to DeepSeek via API were impacted.
This is the sixth publicly recorded service anomaly by DeepSeek in March. The status page history shows that on March 5, the web was unavailable for about 45 minutes; on March 10, the web/APP was unavailable for about 76 minutes; on March 18, performance dropped by about 11 minutes; and from March 29 to 30, there were two consecutive incidents with a combined time span of nearly 13 hours.
