ChatGPT Outage Disrupts Responses Worldwide as OpenAI Reports Mitigation

OpenAI says the problem was mitigated after it identified the cause.

Overview

  • OpenAI’s status page acknowledged “ChatGPT Not Displaying Responses,” began an investigation, then updated the incident to mitigated with monitoring underway.
  • Downdetector showed a rapid surge to hundreds-to-thousands of complaints, with notable clusters in the UK and India and reports spanning web and mobile apps.
  • User experiences were inconsistent during the disruption, as some outlets’ tests found ChatGPT responding while others saw errors, timeouts, or missing replies.
  • Reports conflicted on API impact, though the status page specifically marked ChatGPT as affected and listed the API, Playground, and Sora as unaffected.
  • The incident adds to a pattern of outages in recent months, including a near 12-hour failure on June 10, raising fresh concerns about operational reliability.
