Is it just you?
- Read the error code: system_busy and service_unavailable are on ElevenLabs' side, while concurrent_limit_exceeded and payment_required are your plan.
- Check your remaining character credits in the app before assuming an outage.
- Try the web app and the API separately; they can fail independently.
- Check ElevenLabs' status page and the reports on this page.
