DeepSeek outage, November 7, 2026

DeepSeek's web chat and the APIs for its V4 Pro and V4.1 Flash models were partially unavailable on November 7, 2026, from 15:11 to 15:56 Beijing time (2:11 AM to 2:56 AM Eastern), a duration of 45 minutes as shown on DeepSeek's incident detail page. DeepSeek listed the incident as "DeepSeek Web/API Partially Unavailable" on its status page. Users reported the chat interface displaying "Server temporarily unavailable," according to reporting by IT Home carried by KuCoin and ChainCatcher. This is the same set of services affected by DeepSeek's November 3, 2026 outage, four days earlier, and by its October 15, 2026 outage.

Timeline: DeepSeek's incident detail records a Monitoring update at 2:11 AM Eastern (15:11 Beijing) stating the issue had been identified and a fix was being implemented, and a Resolved update at 2:56 AM Eastern (15:56 Beijing) stating the issue had been resolved and the service was operating normally. Reporting during the incident (PANews, citing STAR Market Daily) said the status page showed a fix implemented with results being monitored; KuCoin reported the restoration at 4:33 AM Eastern, giving the same 15:11 to 15:56 window and the same 45-minute duration.
