What to do if Baseten is not working

  1. Check the status card at the top of this page. If Baseten reports an incident, the errors are on their side.
  2. Retry failed requests with exponential backoff (for example 1, 2, 4, 8 seconds, with some random jitter). Short 500, 502, 503 and 529 errors often clear within minutes.
  3. A 429 error means a rate limit or quota, not an outage: check your usage limits and tier, and slow down or batch requests.
  4. A 401 or 403 error usually means the API key is wrong, revoked or out of credit: check the key and your billing page.
  5. Check the model name: retired or renamed models return errors that look like an outage.
  6. Keep a fallback: route to another provider or model while Baseten is down (see the alternatives below), or use a router that switches automatically.

Baseten outage questions

Is Baseten down right now?

The card at the top of this page reads Baseten's official status page live, and times Baseten's API from our servers every few minutes. If the official page shows an incident, the problem is on Baseten's side.

When was Baseten last down?

The latest Baseten problem we recorded was on Oct 21, 2026, 02:01 UTC and lasted 32 minutes: Elevated errors on DeepSeek V4 Flash on Model APIs. There were 4 problems in the last 30 days. The full list is on the Baseten outage history page.

Why does Baseten return 500, 502 or 503 errors?

These are server-side errors: the request reached Baseten but it could not answer. They usually come in bursts during incidents or heavy load. Retry with exponential backoff, and check the status above.

What does a 429 error from Baseten mean?

429 means too many requests: you hit a rate limit or a usage quota. It is not an outage. Slow down, batch requests, or raise your limit in your Baseten account.
