I wanna whats going on…I have been suffered from this the whole night
Same thing. Thank god I am not the only one - I thought my account got blocked or something.
Welcome to the Forum,
A 503 error (UNAVAILABLE) indicates that the service is temporarily overloaded or experiencing a capacity constraint. This is common during peak usage hours, particularly with long context requests.
The best immediate step is to wait a few minutes and try again . If you’re using code, implementing a retry with exponential backoff is the most robust way to handle this.
Thank you!
Same here, even with retries with exponential backoff. I’m not able to get even 10 images a day
How does long context affect the 503 response?
I’m using long text prompts with reference images as prompts - how to handle this? Is there a higher payed tier where it works?
It’s been denying my requests for 4 days straight now. No matter what time of the day I try
Hi @Martin_Woska, @alex_b1,
Long context and reference images make requests computationally heavier.'During periods of high congestion, the server is more likely to drop these heavy requests (returning a 503) compared to short, simple text prompts.
However, it was a temporary problem because of too much traffic and should have been fixed now.
Could you please confirm if you are still facing these issues?
Thank you!
