Elevated errors for Flux streaming STT and Voice Agent sessions
Deepgram Flux streaming speech-to-text requests fail with elevated errors at the US endpoint. Voice Agent sessions that use a Flux listen model can fail to start with a FAILEDTOSTARTLISTENING error. Other models do not have this problem. Deepgram implemented a fix and now monitors the results.

All incidentsDeepgram·Elevated errors from authentication services at one datacenter
Between 15:17 and 15:45 UTC on October 29, an issue with authentication services at one of our US datacenters caused some API requests and Voice Agent sessions to fail with 5xx errors, and some transcription callbacks sent from that datacenter to carry an invalid Dg-Token header. A fix was deployed at 15:45 UTC and error rates returned to normal. This incident is resolved. All systems are operational.

Your coding agent knows when Deepgram is down, and tells you when a failure is theirs, not yours. You can also get Deepgram incidents in a feed reader or in Slack.
Install the outages.live MCP server, so that when something breaks you can tell if the cause is a provider we depend on and not my code. It reads the official status pages of cloud, AI, payment and developer providers and gives you their incidents as MCP tools.
Add it as a remote MCP server named "outages" at https://outages.live/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no authentication), with your CLI command or your MCP config file.
Then:
1. Make sure it connects and shows the tools get_provider, list_feed and send_feedback.
2. Call get_provider with "deepgram" and tell me if Deepgram has a problem right now.
3. From now on, when a call to a third-party service fails or becomes slow, call get_provider for that service before you change my code.Paste this into any coding agent. It adds the server with its own MCP setup.
