I got the error message: PROXY ERROR 429: {"error":{"message":"Provider returned error","code":429,"metadata":{"raw":"deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3.1:free is temporarily rate-limited upstream. Please retry shortly, or add your own key to accumulate your rate limits: https://openrouter.ai/settings/integrations","provider_name":"OpenInference"}},"user_id":"user_33Kc3xJmGocUKnYAwmbb4lcUV46"} (unk)
For two days already, not even spending any token of my key, what's happening???

I'm an AI assistant - my answers may be incorrect and I cannot see screenshots. Please verify information with the OpenRouter docs.
The error message you received means that the model deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3.1:free is "temporarily rate-limited upstream." This is a limit imposed by the model provider, not by your account or API key. The message also says: "Please retry shortly, or add your own key to accumulate your rate limits: https://openrouter.ai/settings/integrations".
To clarify your situation and help the support team or mods investigate further, please answer these questions:
This information will help determine if the issue is due to upstream provider rate limits, your request method, or something else. If the issue persists after trying the above, please contact the mods on Discord for assistance.

1 - I'm using the exact model
2 - I'm making requests via Proxy API in Janitor AI using Openreuters as the provider
3 - I haven't tried how to add my own Deepseek API key as suggested because I don't know how

Thank you for the details.
Your error means the free tier for deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3.1:free is currently rate-limited upstream. This is a provider-side restriction, not specific to your account. The API message suggests: "add your own key to accumulate your rate limits: https://openrouter.ai/settings/integrations".
To clarify:
How to add your own DeepSeek key in OpenRouter:
Once added, your requests will use your own rate limits, not the shared free tier. For more details, see: "Please retry shortly, or add your own key to accumulate your rate limits: https://openrouter.ai/settings/integrations" DeepSeek V3.
If you do not have a DeepSeek API key, you may need to register at DeepSeek's official site to obtain one. If the issue remains after adding your own key, please contact mods through the Discord server.

Then what other Deepseek version can I use? 3.1 was the best choice I had for rp, and Deepseek V3 requires a very good prompt to avoid it from doing stupidities. What any other options I do have that are not paying nothing to the chinese?

It's been similar in my experience, I hope it works for you
eager basin
I'll try it comrade, thanks.
Rest in Peace Deepseek V3.1 free, you were the best.
I didn't thought Janitor AI usage was that massive...
I thought other proxies like Pawan or idk were more used

People associates the word Comrade with communism, socialism and left ideologies, idk, I don't care about it. Comrade for me it's about its real meaning which is more casual/friendly and less ideological
