ChatGPTdown detector & server status

Is ChatGPT down or not working right now? This live ChatGPT down detector combines OpenAI's official status feed, our own independent checks, and first-party user reports — and shows whether it's the ChatGPTAPI, the app, or a specific capability that's affected, plus the upstream AI provider it depends on. Use it to tell whether ChatGPTis having an outage today, and whether it's down for everyone or just you.

The measured ChatGPT record

Across 8,640 independent checks over the last 30 days, ChatGPT was fully operational 89.8% of the time; 883 found it degraded. The most recent recorded ChatGPT incident was a none on 2026-09-18 (ongoing): "SSO sign-in and SCIM provisioning issues". Typical response time from our US East (Virginia) probe this week is 301ms (p90 407ms, over 2,016 checks). ChatGPT runs on OpenAI, Microsoft Azure, Cloudflare, AWS, so an upstream incident there can surface here first.

How we know

We combine independent signals into one verdict. Here's what each source is reporting right now.

Performance

Is it slower than its own normal? A status page won't tell you — we measure it.

25,986reachable checks. The line plots the median of each interval, so one timeout can't spike it, and we lead with the median rather than an average, which a single slow response would skew. Failed checks are excluded: a timeout is not a response time.

% of our checks that found ChatGPT fully operational — a degraded check counts against it, because a slow or partly-broken service is not a working one. Down and degraded time are counted at our 5-minute check resolution, so both are approximate. Longer windows fill in as data accrues — we never show uptime we haven't measured.

Recent incidents

No recent incidents reported on ChatGPT's official status page. Historical incident tracking begins once our database is live — for now, see the official status page.

What this page can and can't tell you

  • How we decide. We combine OpenAI's official status feed, our own independent check from US East (Virginia), and first-party reports from readers. The confidence badge shows how many of those signals agree.
  • On root cause. We have no visibility inside OpenAI's systems. When our dependency graph points upstream, at OpenAI, we say so. Otherwise we report what the signals show rather than guessing at an internal cause.
  • Outages are rarely all-or-nothing. Some are regional. Some hit one surface while the rest works, so the ChatGPT API can fail while the app is fine. The capability panel breaks it down.
  • Green doesn't mean everyone. If our check reaches ChatGPTbut you can't, the problem is more likely local: your network, a VPN, browser extensions, or cache.

Frequently asked

Is ChatGPT down right now?+

Right now, ChatGPT appears to be operational. ChatGPT looks healthy. The official status page reports all systems operational and our independent checks are passing.

Is there a ChatGPT down detector?+

Yes — this page is a live ChatGPT down detector. It combines ChatGPT's official status feed, our own independent reachability check, first-party user reports, and the AI dependency graph, then shows a confidence level so you can tell a real outage from a local glitch. ChatGPT is currently operational. We only show signals we can actually verify — never invented report totals.

Is there a ChatGPT outage today?+

No active ChatGPT outage is detected right now — it appears operational. For past incidents and dated outage recaps, see ChatGPT's status history below.

What is ChatGPT's server status and API status right now?+

ChatGPT is currently operational. Server status and API status aren't always the same — the ChatGPT API can fail while the web app works, or vice-versa. The capability panel on this page breaks status down by surface (API, app, and any image/voice features) so you can see exactly which part is affected. ChatGPT depends on OpenAI, so an incident there can cascade to ChatGPT and other AI tools at the same time.

Is the ChatGPT API down? (OpenAI API status)+

Check the API row in the capability panel above — ChatGPT is currently operational overall, but the API can carry its own status. For developers, "OpenAI API status" problems usually surface here first, because we read OpenAI's own status feed and watch the API surface directly. ChatGPT depends on OpenAI, so an incident there can cascade to ChatGPT and other AI tools at the same time.

Why is ChatGPT slow or not working?+

Common causes are an upstream provider incident, API rate limits during peak demand, a regional CDN issue, or maintenance. ChatGPT is currently operational. We show the official status, our independent check, and a confidence level so you can see which signals point to a real problem. ChatGPT depends on OpenAI, so an incident there can cascade to ChatGPT and other AI tools at the same time.

Is ChatGPT down for everyone or just me?+

We check ChatGPT from our own servers, independent of your device or network, and combine that with OpenAI's official feed and user reports. If our independent check reaches ChatGPT but you can't, the problem is most likely local — try a different network, disable a VPN/extensions, or clear your cache. If our check and the official status both show problems, ChatGPT is down for everyone.

How can I tell if it's ChatGPT or my own connection?+

AIDownCheck runs an independent reachability check from our own servers, separate from ChatGPT's official status page. If our check passes but you still can't connect, the problem is more likely local — try a different network, clear your cookies, disable VPN/extensions, or use a different browser. If our check is failing too, it's more likely ChatGPT's side.

What can I use while ChatGPT is down?+

Good alternatives include Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok. We track their live status too, so you can switch to one that's currently operational.

Where is ChatGPT's official status page?+

ChatGPT's official status page is at https://status.openai.com. AIDownCheck reads it automatically and combines it with our own checks — so you get the answer without juggling tabs.
