LOL, this is what happens when you trust your Ai to a company like OpenAI.. absolutely not enterprise ready let alone ready for the mass user base like Apple. Seriously hope they let you choose Gemini over OpenAI soon. At least Google knows how to run services.
 
Whatever outage was, no longer is. I'm using the MacGPT, and it's online right now.

Won't be long until it's smart enough to fix itself when this happens.
Fix applied now after slightly more then a hour.

Monitoring - A fix has been implemented and we are monitoring results. Most users should already see access to ChatGPT restored.

lol good grief give it a rest. It’s common for things like Azure outages taking out entire companies’ phone and email systems for the better part of a day.
 
i was having problems with it last night for an hour or two, wonder if it’s related
Same here. The problem began last night. I found that ChatGPT wasn't working when I accessed it using my web browser, but the ChatGPT app worked fine. It would be interesting to find out why accessing it using the app worked for me, if supposedly the issue was with ChatGPT altogether. And, other people found that not even using the app worked for them.
 
Resolved - This issue has now been resolved. Between 4:06pm and 4:30pm PT, ChatGPT was unavailable to all users. Access was restored to most users by 4:34, with a small number of customers still experiencing issues until 5pm.
