So, I've been going on and off of Janitor out of habit just to see how my bots are doing and if I'll get enough motivation to make another one, and I got the impulse to try and do a roleplay chat just for fun. The problem is, none of my proxies seem to work, and I don't really wanna use JLLM as proxies have ruined my standards and made me crave really, really good responses over the stuff JLLM pumps out. I get constant '503' errors using Gemini, meaning its overloaded or something, but it seems to be always overloaded. At the same time, sometimes I get no responses whatsoever from Deepseek, which means I just can't use any proxies because of all the errors or limits or whatever is going on.

I know that some people do have Deepseek working--whereas Gemini is undergoing a ban wave or something like that--but how? Do they pay for it, or is there some other free method that I don't know about?
