Should I check my key or base URL when DSH says Invalid API Key?

How can I tell whether the credential is wrong or Harness is calling another endpoint?

Record the status code and destination. A 401 from DeepSeek's official API is an authentication failure. Verify the key and base URL, then test a minimal request to that endpoint. If it works outside Harness, inspect the active provider and model routing.
