ChatGPT appears to be up and running normally.

checked responded in 39msHTTP 200

Over the last 7 days, ChatGPT has answered our automated checks with 100.00% availability and a typical response time of ~25 ms. The most recent outage began 2026-09-03 15:04 UTC and lasted 25m (severity: degraded).

ChatGPT is the consumer chat app built on OpenAI's models, used through the web app, the desktop client, and the mobile apps. It fails separately from the API that developers call: conversations stop sending, responses cut off mid-stream, or the composer greys out while API traffic keeps flowing normally. Rate limits are the most common cause of what looks like an outage to one person, because hitting a plan cap produces a vague error rather than a clear one.

ChatGPT is also searched for as chat gpt.

Is ChatGPT down for everyone or just you?

Our automated checks are reaching ChatGPT normally right now, and it answered our last one in 39ms. That makes any trouble you are hitting more likely to be local to your connection, account or network than a full outage, which usually means you can fix it from your end.

Measured since 2026-08-13. Windows reaching further back are averaged over the 27 days we watched, not the full period. Counts our own checks. Days ChatGPT reported an incident are coloured in the timeline above but do not change this figure.

What to do if ChatGPT is down for just you

  • Check whether it is only you: open the app in a private window with extensions disabled, since ad blockers and privacy extensions break the streaming response.
  • Hitting your plan's message cap silently switches you to a lighter model or shows a generic error. Wait 30 to 60 minutes and try again before assuming an outage.
  • A stale session cookie makes a working service look broken. Clear cookies for the site specifically rather than everything.
  • The API and the chat app are separate surfaces. If your code is failing but the chat works, or the reverse, check the other component on OpenAI's status page.
