Is ChatGPT Down? Here’s what’s going on (Update: No issues)

Thousands of people worldwide have reported difficulty accessing OpenAI’s popular AI chatbot (ChatGPT). Many users are unable to log in, send prompts, or see their chat history.

The outage began lately and affected customers on numerous continents and countries. OpenAI has acknowledged the disruption and is actively looking into the underlying technical issues.

Thousands of users around the world are experiencing difficulties using OpenAI’s famous AI chatbot, with many unable to log in, give prompts, or view their chat history.

The outage began in the last 40 minutes, with DownDetector receiving reports from users in the United States, Europe, India, Japan, Australia, and several other countries.

OpenAI has acknowledged the problem on its status page, stating that it is investigating the disturbance.

“We are investigating the issue for the listed services,” the company stated.

What troubles are customers experiencing during the ChatGPT outage?

Users have reported a number of connectivity issues with both the ChatGPT website and the mobile app. The issue appears to affect both free and paying subscribers.

The most commonly mentioned difficulties are:

• Failed logins and authentication failures
• Chat history is not loaded.
• Users are experiencing unexpected sign-outs and receiving “service unavailable” messages while submitting prompts.
• Conversations fail to load.

Many users have also complained to social networking platform X about being trapped on loading screens or being unable to access prior discussions.

What OpenAI is doing to investigate the issue

According to OpenAI’s status page, the issue is now being investigated. During the downtime, the status page alternated between presenting an active incident and regular operations, which can occur when authentication systems are disrupted even if the core AI models remain functioning.

The corporation has yet to reveal the source of the outage or provide an estimated date for restoration.

The latest outage comes days after the first setback.

The new incident occurred just two days after OpenAI experienced another large outage that impacted ChatGPT, Codex, and its API services. That disturbance took nearly 24 hours to completely resolve.

With another outage so soon, customers have expressed concern about the platform’s current reliability.
