DeepSeek Refunds a Week of API Spend as Credit After 4h52m Partial Outage

DeepSeek's API and chat services were partially down for 4 hours and 52 minutes on October 15, according to its own status page. The incident affected the chat service and the V4 Pro and V4.1 Flash API models, with the company citing an unspecified shared fault. In response, DeepSeek will return each API account's spend from October 8 to 14 as bonus credit, applied automatically and used before top-up balance. The credit covers only what accounts paid, not losses from failed requests or downstream effects, and the company says it is reviewing service stability. Users were advised to check their balance pages for any expiry terms.
