## Updates from Black Forest Labs

### resolved, 2026-08-25 04:51 UTC

After the maintenance on our US3 cluster, the regional endpoint api.us3.bfl.ai is no longer valid, however we are still receiving traffic from certain users. Please ensure to only ever use the global api.bfl.ai or regional api. .bfl.ai endpoints as specified in the docs, not cluster specific ones like api.us3.bfl.ai, to avoid using internal domains that may be removed at any time. https://docs.bfl.ai/api_integration/integration_guidelines#api-endpoints-overview
