This morning, users attempting to engage with ChatGPT may have encountered an unresponsive interface, a rare occurrence for a platform known for its constant availability. The issue is not linked to individual internet connections or OpenAI accounts; rather, ChatGPT is currently facing a temporary outage.
Reports from various users began surfacing at 11:56 a.m. ET, as noted by monitoring services. By 12:11 p.m., the number of reported issues had surged to over 7,000. If you're a frequent ChatGPT user, you might recall experiencing disruptions just yesterday, with more than 25,000 reports logged between 2:56 p.m. and 4:11 p.m. on Tuesday.
As with any service interruptions, it is expected that OpenAI will address the problem swiftly. However, these outages appear to be on the rise, with other platforms, such as TikTok, also experiencing sporadic downtime recently.
