About Mistral API Status
Mistral AI provides Mistral-Large, Mistral-Small, Codestral, and Mistral-Nemo models via La Plateforme API, used by developers building European-data-resident AI applications. This page tracks Mistral API outages, degradations, and incidents in real time, automatically updated every 60 seconds from our monitoring infrastructure.

Common Mistral Outage Symptoms
- ✕HTTP 429 — rate limit exceeded on tokens-per-minute or requests-per-day
- ✕HTTP 503 — La Plateforme API temporarily unavailable during maintenance
- ✕Elevated latency on Mistral-Large requests during capacity pressure
- ✕Codestral endpoint errors during model updates or deployments
- ✕Streaming response stalls on long-form generation tasks
- ✕Function calling / tool use returning malformed JSON during incidents
What to Do During a Mistral Outage
- Honor the Retry-After header on 429s and apply exponential backoff starting at 1 s.
- Downgrade from Mistral-Large to Mistral-Small for non-critical requests during an incident to conserve capacity.
- Switch to a BYOK proxy (AI Badgr) to get per-request receipts and automatic retry handling.
- Monitor the official Mistral status page at mistralai.instatus.com for incident announcements.
- Set per-request timeouts appropriate to model size — Mistral-Large may need 60 s; Mistral-Small needs 15 s.

Mistral Outage FAQ
Is Mistral AI down right now?
This page checks our live monitoring infrastructure (updated every 60 s) which scrapes the official Mistral status page and our own request telemetry. The status badge at the top reflects the current state.
Why am I getting Mistral 429 errors?
HTTP 429 from La Plateforme API means you have hit a rate limit. Mistral enforces both RPM and RPD (requests-per-day) limits depending on your plan. Check the Retry-After header and back off accordingly.
How do I handle Mistral streaming stalls?
During a Mistral incident, streaming connections may stay open but stop delivering tokens. Set a per-chunk timeout (e.g., 10 s without a new token) and retry the full request if exceeded. AI Badgr handles this automatically.
Can I automatically failover away from Mistral during an outage?
Yes. AI Badgr can proxy requests through your Mistral API key and failover to an alternate model automatically. Change one line of code (base_url) and get transparent receipts and automatic failover.
Does Mistral have data-residency guarantees?
Mistral AI is based in France and their La Plateforme API can comply with EU data-residency requirements. Check their data processing agreement for details. AI Badgr's BYOK proxy passes through your key without storing model inputs.
Never get stuck in a Mistral outage again
AI Badgr acts as a transparent proxy for your existing API keys. One line of code change. Zero vendor lock-in. Instant failover when Mistral is down.
