OpenAI chatbot ChatGPT is experiencing another major global outage with thousands of users across the globe reporting disruptions. Notably, the outage appears to be affecting all regions, with concentrated reports from North America, Europe, and Asia, including India.
This is the second significant outage this month, raising concerns about the platform’s reliability as demand for AI tools continues to grow.
The outage began early morning on Wednesday, with Downdetector showing a sharp spike in complaints starting around 6:15 AM IST.
OpenAI’s official status page currently shows investigations ongoing for ChatGPT, with reports of “Content Failed To Load” errors.
According to Downdetector, a sharp spike in user reports were witnessed with 82 percent of the users reporting an outage with ChatGPT, 12 percent with the website and 6 percent with the app.
Meanwhile, OpenAI’s status page also confirmed “degraded performance” across multiple services, stating, “We have identified elevated error rates and are working on a mitigation.”
Soon after several users faced the outage, social media users were quick to respond to the disruption. Many described being stuck at login verification stages or facing blank chat windows. While several developers reported that active sessions using Codex were cut off midway, resulting in lost work.
Meanwhile, several users relying on Sora for creative video generation also flagged prolonged rendering times and system errors.
Last month as well, OpenAI’s chatbot, ChatGPT, suffered a significant outage, leaving thousands of users unable to access the service, facing persistent “error” messages. The disruption was later acknowledged by OpenAI on its official status page.
Earlier in March this year, ChatGPT was down for several users as millions of users flocked to the AI platform to create Studio Ghibli images, which became an overnight sensation on social media. Widespread errors were reported across the app and its API services.
