OpenAI Confirms Partial ChatGPT and Codex Outage as Services Recover

The disruption highlights recurring reliability risks for large AI tools.

Overview

  • Complaints on Downdetector surged around 10 to 10:30 a.m. ET Monday, marking a multi-component disruption across OpenAI services.
  • OpenAI listed ChatGPT, Codex (its coding tool), and the API platform as affected, with conversations, login, voice, image generation, search, GPTs, and other features showing partial outages.
  • Reports came from the United States, the United Kingdom, India, and parts of Europe, with users citing login failures, missing or frozen chats, slow responses, and warnings like 'unusual activity detected on your phone'.
  • OpenAI said it applied mitigations and is monitoring recovery through its status page.
  • Service access has improved for many users, though intermittent errors persist, in a fresh reminder of recent outages that included a March disruption and a Cloudflare-linked incident months earlier.
