If you’re having trouble using ChatGPT today, you’re not alone. The AI chatbot experienced a partial outage for several users this afternoon, with Down Detector reaching more than 12,000 reports around the peak of the problem today. OpenAI released a status update shortly after noting there were “elevated error rates” for ChatGPT and platform users. That issue was marked as resolved at 5:14 PM ET.
Although the initial outage can be repaired, OpenAI still has an active status alert. This is only for the fine-tuning component of its API service. But the end of that last issue may also appear to be near, as the company’s current statement is “We have implemented mitigations and are monitoring the recovery.
Another AI chatbot, Anthropic Cloud, also malfunctioned today. It listed similar issues with “elevated error rates on APIs across all cloud models.” That situation was resolved by 1 p.m. ET.
Update, February 3, 2025, 6:17 PM ET: Updated to reflect the change in situation and mention the cloud outage.
