Reports began surfacing early in the day as users across the globe encountered error messages such as “Hmm...something seems to have gone wrong” and “A network error occurred. Please check your connection and try again” when attempting to use ChatGPT. The outage is not limited to ChatGPT alone; other OpenAI services, including the Sora text-to-video platform and developer APIs, are also affected.
OpenAI has acknowledged the issue on its official status page, stating, “We’re currently experiencing issues,” and confirmed that they are actively investigating the cause of the disruptions
According to Down Detector, a significant spike in outage reports has been observed in multiple regions, including the UK and US, with users taking to social media to express their frustration and seek updates
The outage began several hours before OpenAI’s public acknowledgment, resulting in a prolonged period of unavailability for critical AI services relied upon by individuals and businesses alike. While some users report sluggish performance or intermittent access, many are unable to use the chatbot at all
As of this publication, OpenAI has not provided a specific timeline for when full service will be restored. The company continues to monitor the situation and is working to resolve the technical difficulties impacting its platforms
