Is ChatGPT down right now?
Live public-endpoint check for ChatGPT (chat.openai.com). We compare EU and US reachability, then link to the provider reference for broader context.

About ChatGPT
ChatGPT is OpenAI's flagship conversational AI product, used by hundreds of millions of people for writing, coding, research, analysis and customer-support automation. The consumer product (chat.openai.com) and the API (api.openai.com) share underlying models but have independent incident surfaces. Common outages: the chat UI returning empty responses, "too many requests" errors despite light usage, voice mode failing to start, GPT-4 or o-series models timing out while GPT-3.5 still works, custom GPTs failing to load, and file uploads hanging. API outages break a long tail of downstream apps: Cursor, GitHub Copilot Chat (partially), writing tools, and countless LLM-powered SaaS products.
The official ChatGPT status page is available as a reference. Official pages are useful, but they can lag behind real outages by minutes or hours. Independent monitoring catches issues faster.
How ChatGPT outages affect production workloads
Developer-platform outages have outsized impact because they cascade. When ChatGPT is degraded, every customer's build pipeline, deploy hook, or webhook delivery can stall, and the failure mode often looks like a customer problem before engineers realize the dependency is the cause. CI runs hang, status checks never report, and queued jobs pile up silently.
The live check above provides independent public-endpoint evidence from EU and US, including status and response timing. That helps separate a broad reachability problem from a local client issue, but it does not execute your private API call, build, webhook, or deploy. Test the exact dependency path before attributing the incident to ChatGPT.
Common signs ChatGPT is having issues
- API rate limits returning earlier than the documented thresholds
- Webhook deliveries showing 5xx errors or unusual latency tail
- Deploy or build hooks accepted by ChatGPT but never firing downstream
- OAuth or token endpoints failing intermittently for the same client credentials
What to do when ChatGPT is degraded
When ChatGPT is having trouble, the fastest mitigation is usually feature-flagging the dependency off if your application can degrade gracefully. Check the multi-region results on this page first; if both regions report healthy but your application still sees failures, the issue is likely your network path or DNS, not ChatGPT itself.

Provider status references
and endpoint checks answer different questions.
Independent endpoint evidence
The regional check can show that a public endpoint is failing before or after a provider posts broader incident context. It does not validate every product subsystem.
Scheduled alerts
Monitor ChatGPT on your plan interval and route confirmed endpoint failures through the notification channels available to your workspace.
Multi-region verification
EU and US results can reveal a regional difference in public-endpoint reachability. Confirm the exact workflow and provider region you use.
