Is ChatGPT down?

Here's what OpenAI's own status page has posted, and when. We check it every fifteen minutes.

ChatGPT last had an incident posted 25 hours ago.

That entry was: Users in APAC region may face increased error in ChatGPT, Work, image generation, file upload, Voice, and Codex Cloud. They've marked it resolved.

A quiet status page is not a promise that everything works. Labs open an incident once they've confirmed one, and that can be a while after your requests start failing. If you're seeing errors and this page says nothing, you're probably early rather than wrong.

What we can say is what OpenAI published and when, for ChatGPT and the OpenAI API.

If the status page is clear and it's still broken

Check what shipped. A client library or a coding tool that updated this morning explains a surprising number of sudden breakages, and the changelogs list those by the hour.

Then check whether the model you're calling is on its way out. The deprecation list has the retirement dates each lab has published.
