Vercel AI Gateway returns 403 Forbidden access_denied error for all requests

Help

All requests to Vercel AI Gateway are returning 403 Forbidden with access_denied error, even with a valid Gateway API Key. The issue appears to be account-level, as requests never reach the upstream providers (no logs in Dashboard).

Environment & Configuration

  • AI SDK Version: Tested on both v5.0.130 and v6.x (latest)
  • API Key Type: free tier

Error:

Error [GatewayInternalServerError]: Forbidden.
Status Code: 403
Response Body: {"error":{"message":"Forbidden.","type":"access_denied"}}
Request URL: https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh/v1/...

Please investigate:

  1. Is there any account-level restriction or flag on my AI Gateway access?
  2. Is my Gateway ID properly provisioned and active?
  3. Are there any organization/team-level permissions blocking AI Gateway usage?
  4. Can you verify if my API Key has the correct entitlements?

Best regards,

Hi, I’m also seeing the same 403 access_denied issue. Could you please check if my team (ID: team_EGlm8gqW1JFyvm9f7N5cxtS6) is affected as well?

Hey @mayven, I’m also currently facing the same 403 Forbidden / access_denied issue on Vercel AI Gateway.

My requests are failing with:
:cross_mark: ArliAI API returned 403: Forbidden

It seems similar to the cases above where accounts needed to be unblocked. Could you please check if my team/account is affected as well?

Thanks!
