One of OpenRouter's main points is that it allows you to bypass individual AI vendors' downtimes. I was considering using it for an uptime-critical project of mine. The post-mortem will be worth watching.

Been down for ~50 minutes now and there's no information other than the automated notice on their status page.

FYI, they (oddly enough) communicate mostly through Discord, and they have said they are investigating the issue at 10:30am UTC - 13 minutes after the first user reports.

Frankly I prefer that than a green tick and "All Systems Operational"

yellow: "volcano has erupted under the datacenter and it's being flooded with lava. engineers are investigating"

red: "datacenter has been subject to multiple nuclear strikes. next update in 30 min"

Hi folks -- I'm Chris from OpenRouter. This one hurts. We're back, but our database was down for about 45 minutes, which caused user and credit lookups to fail, and took down the API. We are investigating why, and of course going to look into improving durability so this failure mode can't happen again. We will share a post-mortem on the site when we have finished our investigation. I'm sorry to our users who count on us.
