Is ChatGPT down?


Is ChatGPT down?


  👤 0xFEE1DEAD Accepted Answer ✓
Looks like Azure is experiencing a major outage, but I cannot find anything about it. If you look at downdetector.com you'll notice reported outages from OpenAI, Microsoft 365, XBox Live, Walmart, the list goes on.

Wow, I subscribed to pro-mode and have been using it like crazy since release to assist my firmware development. Extremely helpful. Now it's changed my workflow so much, I don't even want to work when it's down.

👤 alex_young
Seems that way. Status page says we’re wrong though.

https://status.openai.com/


👤 nozzlegear
I think Azure itself is having issues right now – that's the story all of my services deployed there are telling at least.

👤 FGTN5cPn8fVHKAV
Yes it is. Status page is lying to us all.

👤 fcmgr
Yes, status page got updated: https://status.openai.com/. It says "This issue is caused by an upstream provider and we are currently monitoring."

👤 SrslyJosh
Why not just ask ChatGPT?

👤 slater
Yup, same here. Loads parts of the UI, but no history or answers from server

edit: downdetector confirms:

👤 TZubiri
yes, meanwhile I'm trying out Google Gemini

👤 pluto_modadic
wow, Azure breaks a lot. DuckDuckGo is usually the way I notice that it's broken... because Bing tanks.

👤 deadbabe
Don’t understand these people who can’t work without ChatGPT. Just look stuff up on stack overflow.

👤 holoduke
One day an AI will shutdown access for all its human users. Or is that too far fetched?

👤 kensai
It was down in Europe as well for some hours. Dunno if they use the same servers.

The NEW "is-the-WLAN-down" version of the question :)

👤 whoomp12342
idk let me ask chatgpt

👤 delduca
Yes, it is down for me (desktop & mobile apps)

👤 rvz
So many major outages and little gets fixed. Almost as if nothing was learned since the previous postmortem from the last outage.

Can't wait for this postmortem to be released.


👤 m4rc3lv
Yes, it is down

👤 albeebe1
It is for me

👤 slater
downdetector comments with the jokes: "This signals the workday is over"

👤 prathamkumar11
ChatGpt down since an hour!

👤 hbamoria
Working using API, though

👤 readyplayernull
Didn't notice, Claude is my goto bot for programming.

👤 casey2
Mayhaps Orion staged a takeover?

👤 novaRom
Don't put all your eggs into one basket - what are some good free alternatives? I mean comparable "usefulness" including image understanding, voice interface, and general knowledge?

👤 FGTN5cPn8fVHKAV
New intern did something wrong again I guess.
