ChatGPT is down for many – here’s what’s going on

Up not down

Downdetector’s report tracker for OpenAI services has been rising since the morning (9AM ET) and steadily rising since then.

It’s worth noting that the service is tracking all OpenAI services and not just ChatGPT. However, most reports we’re seeing elsewhere only point to ChatGPT as the primary culprit.

The outage may not be global since our counterparts in the UK report no issues with processing prompts.

We’re seeing them on both the desktop and iOS app.

No answers

This is what the outage looks like when you’re trying to get a prompt response from ChatGPT 4o.

What’s notable here is that the platform is not down but ChatGPT’s ability to answer after ingesting a prompt appears compromised.

ChatGPT has yet to acknowledge any issues on its X (formerly Twitter) feed but we’ll keep an eye on it for updates.
