DeepSeek has been experiencing a large-scale service disruption since the evening of March 29, 2026. As of the morning of March 30, the service has not been fully restored, with both the web and app platforms remaining unresponsive. Users are unable to log in, conversations are being interrupted, and historical content has been lost.
