AIWatch Data: Based on AIWatch data from the last 30 days, DeepSeek App experienced 4 incidents with an average recovery time of 30 minutes. 30-day uptime: 99.48%.
DeepSeek App is DeepSeek's consumer AI assistant — the chat experience at chat.deepseek.com and the "DeepSeek - AI Assistant" mobile apps on iOS and Android. It is distinct from the DeepSeek API used by developers; AIWatch tracks the consumer Web Chat surface here and the API separately.
AIWatch Insight: DeepSeek's consumer chat saw rapid, viral growth and experiences capacity-driven slowdowns more often than its developer API. AIWatch reads DeepSeek's official Flashduty status feed (via a browser-rendered fetch, since the page blocks plain server requests) and scopes this page to the Web Chat component — so a chat outage shows here even when the API stays healthy, and vice versa.
When the DeepSeek App is down, users cannot start or continue conversations on the web chat or mobile apps. The web and mobile clients share the same backend, so an outage typically affects all consumer access at once; the DeepSeek API may still be operational for developers.
