Questions
- Is ChatGPT down right now?
- This page shows what OpenAI's official status page reports for chats, voice mode, file uploads, search, image generation and deep research, read at most once a minute. If a part shows Unknown, the official page could not be read; open it directly.
- Why does ChatGPT not work for me when the status says up?
- Status pages list incidents the provider has confirmed, and new incidents can take a few minutes to appear. A problem with your network, browser, app version or account will not show there. Try another network or the web version, and check whether you have hit a usage limit.
- Where is the official ChatGPT status page?
- OpenAI publishes it at status.openai.com, including incident history. This page reads the same data and links to it.
