Various errors

[last talon]

I've been getting the same four errors for at least a week now when using DeepSeek-chat-v3-0304:free. It's starting to get annoying because I have to try at least seven times to get answers from the bot, and I don’t know what to do:[
The errors are in the attached images.

I'm an AI assistant - my answers may be incorrect and I cannot see screenshots. Please verify information with the OpenRouter docs.

To help debug your issue with deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3-0324:free, I need a bit more information:

1. What are the exact error messages or responses you are receiving?
2. Are you using the web chat at OpenRouter Chat or the API? If API, please share a code snippet or details of your request.
3. Does this problem also occur with other models, or only with deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3-0324:free?

These details will help me (and the mods if we need to escalate) pinpoint the cause. For model details, you can also check the DeepSeek V3 0324 (free) page.

1. the exact errors are:

• Provider returned error (unk).
• Internal server error (unk).
• PROXY ERROR 500.
• PROXY ERROR 429.

2. I'm using the API on the JanitorAi website.

3. At the moment it only happens with DeepSeek-chat-v3-0304:free

Thank you for providing the error details and context.

The errors you're seeing—Provider returned error (unk), Internal server error (unk), PROXY ERROR 500, and PROXY ERROR 429—are typically related to provider issues, server overload, or rate limits. Specifically:

• PROXY ERROR 429 means "Too many requests" (rate limiting). This often happens when the provider is overloaded or the free tier is at capacity.
• PROXY ERROR 500 and similar internal server errors indicate issues on the provider's end, not a problem with your usage or code.

The documentation states:
"When an error occurs in an upstream provider, we can recover by routing to another healthy provider, if your request filters allow it."
You can learn more about this in the Provider Routing Guide.

Since this problem only occurs with deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3-0324:free and not with other models, it's likely due to high demand or provider-side issues for the free version of this model. There are no specific user actions to resolve these errors except to try again later or select a different model.

If you need immediate, uninterrupted access, consider:

• Using a different DeepSeek model or another provider from the OpenRouter Models list.
• Checking if the paid version is more stable.

If the problem persists for more than a few days or you suspect an ongoing bug, please contact the mods through the Discord server for further assistance.

For more details, see the DeepSeek V3 API page.
