How to fix deepseek server busy?

Encountering DeepSeek's "server busy" error typically indicates high demand or connectivity issues. Here are proven solutions to resolve this problem effectively:

Immediate Fixes

Connectivity Adjustments

• Disable VPN/proxy services: These can trigger regional restrictions or latency.
• Switch networks: use your private wifi or mobile data.
• Restart devices/router: Resolves IP conflicts and resets network stacks.

Usage Optimization

• Avoid peak hours: Access between 12 AM - 7 AM local time when server load drops by 40-60%.
• Disable Deepthink R1/Web Search: Reduce server load by toggling off premium features temporarily.
• Close unused tabs/apps: Each open DeepSeek session consumes 150-300MB of server resources.

Advanced Solutions

• Local deployment (Technical):Eliminates server dependency but requires technical expertise.

# Requirements: NVIDIA GPU, 32GB RAM, Docker
docker pull deepseek/r1-7b
docker run -p 8000:8000 deepseek/r1-7b

• Regional VPN routing: Connect through less congested server regions like Singapore or Frankfurt.

Alternative Access

• Use the mobile app instead of web interface (different API endpoints).
• Try third-party platforms hosting DeepSeek models:
• Hugging Face Spaces.
• OpenRouter.
• Modal Labs.
