Is it just you?
- Check whether you use a trial key: trial keys are rate limited far below production keys.
- Look at the billing page; payment-related 402 errors stop every request.
- Try a different endpoint (chat, embed or rerank) to see whether one service or the whole API is failing.
- Check status.cohere.com and the reports on this page.
