The ChatGPT outage has been resolved.
All of ChatGPT’s services are back up and running again. OpenAI says on its official status for ChatGPT that “All impacted services have now fully recovered. The detailed Root Cause Analysis (RCA) will be published in the next 5 business days.”
If you’ve been trying to useChatGPTtoday but keep encountering error messages, you’re not alone. The popular AI chatbot is facing a significant outage in the US.
OpenAI is aware of the problem, and its officialstatus pagefor ChatGPT indicates it’s “currently experiencing issues.” OpenAI says it is working on a fix, but there is no timeline for when services will be fully restored. The outage is impacting ChatGPT’s web services and mobile app.
“We have identified that users are experiencing elevated errors for the impacted services. We are working on implementing a mitigation,” OpenAI says.

Thousands of users in the US are reporting issues
ChatGPT is either slow to respond or not working at all
According todowndetector.com, a website that tracks outages worldwide, thousands of reports indicate that ChatGPT is down in the US. Many users receive the response “Something went wrong” when attempting to prompt the AI chatbot. Other users report that ChatGPT is functioning, but its responses are extremely slow.
The error messages appear across ChatGPT’s models, including 4o and 03-mini. The outage seems to be affecting users primarily in the US, as there haven’t been many outage reports from other countries like Canada or the UK. For what it’s worth, here in Canada, I’m experiencing no issues with ChatGPT, and it responded to a couple of prompts without any problems on both desktop and mobile.
It’s unclear what caused this outage, but hopefully, OpenAI will keep us updated and get things back up and running again quickly.
