DeepSeek, the Chinese AI chatbot with 355 million users, went down twice in a single night — and stayed down for over 13 hours in what has become the longest disruption to its consumer service since it launched globally in January 2025.
What Happened
The outage began at 9:35 p.m. China Standard Time on Sunday, March 29. DeepSeek's status page flagged a problem with its web and app chat service. Engineers marked it resolved at 11:23 p.m. — but 57 minutes later, at 12:20 a.m. Monday, a second incident opened.
Fix attempts were logged at 1:24 a.m. and again at 9:13 a.m. The outage was not fully resolved until 10:33 a.m. Monday morning. DeepSeek issued no public explanation for either incident.
