Is JanitorAI down? Proxy errors, outages and fixes
When JanitorAI or your proxy stops working: how to tell which one is broken, the common proxy errors, and a reliable proxy you can switch to in two minutes.
Short answer
Most "JanitorAI is down" moments are the proxy, not the site. If the site loads but replies fail, test your proxy URL and key; if the site itself does not load, it is an outage and you have to wait. Our proxy endpoint is https://tryunrestrictedai.com/v1/chat/completions with model venice-uncensored-role-play ($1 in / $4 out per million tokens).
Which part is broken
| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Site does not load | JanitorAI outage | Wait; check JanitorAI’s Discord or status posts |
| "Network error" on every reply | Proxy URL missing /chat/completions, or wrong key | Re-enter the URL and key, no spaces |
| 429 or "rate limited" | Proxy provider limit | Wait a minute, or use a provider with higher limits |
| Empty or cut-off replies | Max tokens too low, or model overloaded | Raise max new tokens; try another model |
