Is ChatGPT down?

Right now, ChatGPT appears to be degraded — some users may see errors or slowness. ChatGPT's official status page is reporting degraded performance ("Partial System Degradation"). Our independent checks can still reach ChatGPT, so some surfaces may still work.

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.

Common causes are an upstream provider incident, API rate limits during peak demand, a regional CDN issue, or maintenance. ChatGPT is currently degraded. We show the official status, our independent check, and a confidence level so you can see which signals point to a real problem.

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

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.
