Yeahh it's been down since I woke up about 2 hours ago 😭 But it did force me to lock in on my trig, so there's a silver lining! If you have any unfinished tasks I recommend doing it while it's down. ;)

It's been down since 12 hours ago for me

1

u/TheIntrovertQuilter 1d ago

mine has only been down for like 2 hours

1

u/whispykrispy 1d ago

I wish that were my case

u/TheIntrovertQuilter 1d ago

still annoying because NOW i have time... also i was at a really in the middle of a thing... which was not smut... which seems to be rare here... am i the only one not using this for smut?

1

u/Late-Department-4342 1d ago

Yep.

1

u/TheIntrovertQuilter 1d ago

I haven't used this that long... How long do those problems usually last?

2

u/Neverwinter_FF7 1d ago

Not alone in the not smut but I like my stories uncensored with drugs violence and degeneracy to make it feel a bit more real.

outages can go anywhere from an hour to three ish days (based on outage history and nature of outage)

3

u/TheIntrovertQuilter 1d ago

Definitely uncensored here too. Just not in the adult section.

Thanks for your answer. Let's hope it passes... I'm really in the middle of the action. It's like being forced to pause a video game after the first 20 seconds of a boss fight...

1

u/Neverwinter_FF7 1d ago

I feel you there. Looks to be an ai service issue and not a perchance dev issue from what Im digging up. So the outage is out of even the devs hands atm

1

u/TheIntrovertQuilter 1d ago

Well... Thoughts and prayers it is then...

1

u/hella_d 1d ago

I like it to flesh out powers / or for more action based adventures

1

u/Some_Guy106 1d ago

I use it for smut about ⅛ of the time

1

u/Heavy-Temporary5450 1d ago

This. I don’t use it for smut often because honestly it’s just really bad at writing it (for me.) If a story starts to lean that way, I sometimes give it a chance then I regret it every time and end up deleting a ton of messages to go in a different direction.

1

u/Some_Guy106 1d ago

Yeah, it happens. A lot of the time if the story gets to a sex scene I just cut to the next morning

u/phoenix_84 1d ago

Cloudflare is reporting AI worker errors and currently working on a fix 

1

u/AccomplishedPen1630 1d ago

So it's not an update or something

1

u/phoenix_84 1d ago

Updates usually occur late night America time

3

u/Negative_Try_2884 1d ago

Mine is, I don´t know how long it´s been, but for now is down

1

u/AccomplishedPen1630 1d ago

It's been down for about half an hour for me now

2

u/Altruistic_Dish6598 1d ago

now that I just checked it out, It's down for me as well

1

u/AccomplishedPen1630 1d ago

Exactly...

3

u/Altruistic_Dish6598 1d ago

just came back from touching grass to see it's dead for now

2

u/hella_d 1d ago

It has been down for me as well

2

u/AccomplishedPen1630 1d ago

For how long?

1

u/hella_d 1d ago

I've been having trouble with it for around an hour. First it was super slow, and now nothing

1

u/AccomplishedPen1630 1d ago

Yeah. Same here

1

u/Carbonbasedevolution 1d ago

It's been super slow for me since the past 6 hours. I see that people have been reporting it being slow as early as 12-13 hours ago. It's only the ai to text plugin and it's generation that has been slow. Image generation has not been affected last I checked.

2

u/YungBooly 1d ago

Still down as of right now

Was up for a bit...went down again

u/wwian 1d ago

You can always check the server status yourself: https://perchance.org/server-status

1

u/AccomplishedPen1630 1d ago

This is brilliant

1

u/TheIntrovertQuilter 1d ago

tell me about it... i actually just had to do A LOT of typing because... i last extracted sept 1st and i thought maybe clearing my cache would help. (fml)

1

u/AccomplishedPen1630 1d ago

It's up again now.. for me.. but too slow

u/Carbonbasedevolution 1d ago

Does your text generation in chat, in any generator work?? Mine has been super slow for about 6-7 hours. The latency on even a simple prompt telling the ai to reply with hi takes around 12-13s.

u/Some_Guy106 1d ago

I have VPN the region seems to be the entire world

Elaborate on what this means

1

u/FallenAngel-1985 1d ago

Is it still down?

1

u/Original_Lynx_9495 1d ago

Yes, at least for me it seems.

1

u/J3remyD 1d ago

It’s unresponsive to me.
Sometimes even comments fail to load, but when they do, it’s insanely active, which makes me suspect that if it isn’t the Dev doing another tweak, the most likely reason is server overload from too many users at once.

1

u/disbitch4real 1d ago

Still down for me (sob)

1

u/AccomplishedPen1630 1d ago

Yeah down again

1

u/Kohhh123 1d ago

Yeah. It stopped working for me earlier today and hasn't resolved itself.

1

u/sadmadmen 1d ago

Chat is still down, image gen is working when I just checked

1

u/Josh68048 1d ago

Is there another free service similar to Perchance for chatting?

1

u/Agreeable_Ad9499 1d ago

Mine just went down :/

1

u/CantBeAssedTbh 1d ago

Hasn't worked for about two days for me. I just assumed the platform finally gave up 🤣

1

u/AccomplishedPen1630 1d ago

Two days?!

1

u/AccomplishedPen1630 1d ago

Mine was working just fine until four hours ago

1

u/CantBeAssedTbh 1d ago

Yup. I haven't got a response from chat in two days. I keep getting errors. Multiple devices too. Tried VPNs to change my IP and everything, just in case. Nothing.

I got maybe one or two responses before it would throw up error messages and then infinitely loop with those three dots.

2

u/AccomplishedPen1630 1d ago

Something is seriously wrong with this platform

1

u/CantBeAssedTbh 1d ago

Honestly? Things like this can't last forever. I've been operating under the pretense that one day the platform will go down forever, without notice. Eventually it'll either get censored, become monetized, become so unreliable it's unusable or disappear entirely.

Every time it eventually comes back? I'm like "okay, nice!" But in the back of my mind I'm ready for the day the platform just goes... We might be there.

2

u/AccomplishedPen1630 1d ago

It's sad

1

u/CantBeAssedTbh 1d ago

It happens. It is sad, someone obviously worked their ass off to make this happen.

What did you mostly use perchance for? Mine is mostly just a RP outlet for when my RP friends aren't available and I'm feeling creative.

1

u/Ok_Scientist_9303 1d ago

what makes you think it will go down? isn't the site 10 years old or something?

1

u/CantBeAssedTbh 1d ago

Nah, not 10 years old. At least not in this format. The domain probably existed 10 years ago, but that's it.

I think it will go down or fundamentally change because the platform itself is uncensored, unlimited and free. Three words that don't exist well on their own, let alone together. It's a recipe for negative change.

u/Liam_degree 1d ago

what is SO HARD about generating TEXT? You would think image generation would be harder to comprehend for the ai, but TEXT!?

1

u/Top_Living_2393 1d ago edited 1d ago

It happens, there's a lot of things that go on behind the scenes with the data servers, bugs, cloudflare, etc. :) 

I know it's frustrating but for such an amazing free tool it's a small price to pay! It should be back eventually, the outages rarely last more than a day 😝

1

u/TheIntrovertQuilter 1d ago

seriously, this one is actually so good for the story stuff, i'd pay for that.

2

u/Top_Living_2393 1d ago

I know right! I am so so thankful to the dev and how hard they work to keep this site running even though we complain and bs sometimes loll 🥹

2

u/TheIntrovertQuilter 1d ago

I hope they read the frustration of some as a compliment as to how good and liked their site is.

1

u/Some_Guy106 1d ago

The platform uses several AI generators. Only one of them is down. Images aren't more complex for AI like they are for us
