What to do if DeepL API is not working

  1. Check the status card at the top of this page. If DeepL API 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 DeepL API is down (see the alternatives below), or use a router that switches automatically.

DeepL API outage questions

Is DeepL API down right now?

DeepL API has no status page we can read, so the card at the top of this page times DeepL API's API from our servers every few minutes, and shows reports from other developers in the last 24 hours.

When was DeepL API last down?

We have not recorded a DeepL API outage or degraded period since we started tracking it on Oct 7, 2026. Its uptime and the full history are on the DeepL API outage history page.

Why does DeepL API return 500, 502 or 503 errors?

These are server-side errors: the request reached DeepL API 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 DeepL API 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 DeepL API account.

What can I use while DeepL API is down?
