We have completed initial scaling and optimizations to enable more traffic through on the flux-3-video api. The BFL team are excited to see what everyone creates!
A fix has been implemented and we are monitoring the results.
We are experiencing significant traffic from our Flux 3 launch and are working to serve all customers. We appreciate your understanding and are working to lower generation times and give everyone the chance to experience our new video models!

Black Forest Labs·Please avoid cluster specific endpoints.
After the maintenance on our US3 cluster, the regional endpoint api.us3.bfl.ai is no longer valid, however we are still receiving traffic from certain users.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

Your coding agent knows when Black Forest Labs is down, and tells you when a failure is theirs, not yours. You can also get Black Forest Labs 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.cc/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 "blackforestlabs" and tell me if Black Forest Labs 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.
