OpenAI's official status page posted an incident, stating, "We're currently experiencing issues" and "Increased errors on ChatGPT conversations." The company confirmed users are experiencing "elevated errors" and is "working on implementing a mitigation.""
"Downdetector, which is owned by ZDNET's parent company Ziff Davis, tracks outages for most sites and services, and it's lit up like a Christmas tree right now with a massive, vertical spike in user-submitted problems. Around 30 minutes ago, hundreds of reports came in, with 94% specifically about ChatGPT rather than other services like Sora. Some users are noting that other services might also be affected. 'Chatgpt and grok are both down, what is going on? AWS at it again?' one developer posted on X."
