How do I know if Mistral is having an outage?

Prismix monitors Mistral every 5 minutes. Visit prismix.dev/service/mistral-api 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 mistral-api entry.

Can I get notified when Mistral goes down?

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

What should I do if Mistral is not working?

First confirm it is a platform-wide issue by checking prismix.dev/service/mistral-api. 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 "Mistral API not working"

If Prismix shows Mistral as "Operational" but your calls are failing:

Invalid API key (401) — Mistral API keys are generated at console.mistral.ai. Ensure the key is for la Plateforme, not a third-party integration.
Rate limits (429) — each plan has different RPM/TPM limits. Free tier is more restrictive. Check your account at console.mistral.ai/billing.
Wrong model ID — use the exact IDs from the docs: mistral-large-latest, codestral-latest. Old snapshot IDs get deprecated.
Codestral endpoint different — Codestral uses https://codestral.mistral.ai/v1, not the standard API base URL. Many clients default to the wrong endpoint.
EU data residency — some enterprise plans require EU-specific endpoints. Check if you need api.eu.mistral.ai.
Exceeded monthly quota — free tier has a monthly token cap. Once hit, requests return 429 until the next billing cycle.
