Is ChatGPT Down Right Now?

This page checks OpenAI's official status feed for ChatGPT, the API, Sora and DALL·E and shows current incidents as they are reported. If everything here is operational but ChatGPT still fails for you, the problem is usually local — a stale session, a browser extension, or your network.

The live indicator and the last five OpenAI incidents refresh automatically every 60 seconds, with the exact time of the last check shown on the page.

What to do during an OpenAI outage

  • Confirm the incident on OpenAI's official status feed before troubleshooting your own setup.
  • Do not delete or recreate your account during an outage — errors that look permanent are usually temporary.
  • For API traffic, back off and retry with exponential delays rather than hammering the endpoint.
  • If the status feed is clear, try a private window, disable extensions, and clear cookies for chat.openai.com.
  • Check r/ChatGPT sorted by new to see whether others are reporting the same failure.

Frequently asked questions

Is ChatGPT down right now?

The live indicator at the top of this page reads OpenAI's official status feed and refreshes every 60 seconds. If it shows an outage or degraded performance, ChatGPT is down for everyone. If it shows all systems operational but ChatGPT still fails for you, the problem is local to your browser, network, or account.

Why is ChatGPT not working today?

The most common causes are an OpenAI-side incident, a stale login session, a browser extension blocking requests, cached data from an older version of the app, or a network or VPN that OpenAI blocks. Check this page first: if OpenAI reports no incident, work through the local fixes in ChatGPT not working.

How do I check OpenAI server status?

OpenAI publishes service health at status.openai.com, including ChatGPT, the API, Sora and DALL·E. This page pulls the same official status and incident data automatically so you can see the current state and the last five incidents in one place.

What do I do when ChatGPT is down?

Confirm the outage on this page or status.openai.com, then wait it out — do not delete or recreate your account. While you wait, try an incognito window, clear cookies and cache for chatgpt.com, disable extensions, and check r/ChatGPT for other reports. For API traffic, retry with exponential backoff instead of hammering the endpoint.
