How do I know if ElevenLabs is having an outage?

Prismix monitors ElevenLabs every 5 minutes. Visit prismix.dev/service/elevenlabs to see real-time status, recent incidents, and uptime trends. You can also call the public API: https://prismix.dev/api/v1/statuses and check the elevenlabs entry.

Can I get notified when ElevenLabs goes down?

Yes. Sign in at prismix.dev (free, email OTP or GitHub), star ElevenLabs, and you will receive an email alert within minutes of any status change. No credit card required.

What should I do if ElevenLabs is not working?

First confirm it is a platform-wide issue by checking prismix.dev/service/elevenlabs. If it shows an active outage, the provider is aware and working on a fix. If Prismix shows Operational but you still have issues, the problem may be account-specific, regional, or a local network issue.

Common causes of "ElevenLabs not working"

If Prismix shows ElevenLabs as "Operational" but your requests are failing:

Character quota exhausted — Each plan has a monthly character limit. Free tier: 10k chars/month. Check usage at elevenlabs.io/app/subscription.
API key invalid (401) — Generate a new key at elevenlabs.io/app/settings/api-keys. Keys are account-specific, not workspace-specific.
Voice ID not found (404) — Shared voices can be removed from the marketplace. Save voice IDs from your own Voice Library, not shared ones.
Rate limit exceeded (429) — ElevenLabs applies concurrent request limits. Serialize requests if generating many clips in parallel.
Streaming issues — Streaming TTS requires Accept: audio/mpeg header. Without it, the API returns PCM or errors.
Voice cloning quota — Instant Voice Cloning is limited on lower tiers. Professional Voice Cloning requires Creator tier or above.
