- Check the status card at the top of this page. If Qwen API reports an incident, the errors are on their side.
- 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.
- A 429 error means a rate limit or quota, not an outage: check your usage limits and tier, and slow down or batch requests.
- A 401 or 403 error usually means the API key is wrong, revoked or out of credit: check the key and your billing page.
- Check the model name: retired or renamed models return errors that look like an outage.
- Keep a fallback: route to another provider or model while Qwen API is down (see the alternatives below), or use a router that switches automatically.
Qwen API outage questions
Is Qwen API down right now?
Qwen API has no status page we can read, so the card at the top of this page times Qwen API's API from our servers every few minutes, and shows reports from other developers in the last 24 hours.
When was Qwen API last down?
We have not recorded a Qwen API outage or degraded period since we started tracking it on Oct 7, 2026. Its uptime and the full history are on the Qwen API outage history page.
Why does Qwen API return 500, 502 or 503 errors?
These are server-side errors: the request reached Qwen 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 Qwen 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 Qwen API account.
What can I use while Qwen API is down?
