ChatGPT users wake to find it's even more wrong, slower than usual

Updated If you're having trouble getting ChatGPT to do your work for you this morning, you wouldn't be alone. It appears OpenAI services are experiencing a variety of issues.

OpenAI's status page indicates as of writing that it's experiencing elevated error rates and latency across its services including ChatGPT, the Sora text-to-video product, and its APIs - so not even your integrations are safe. A separate entry for elevated error rates in Sora is also included on the status page.

The only things that appear to be functioning normally are OpenAI's login services. We note that the affected services are mentioned as having "partial outages" - this vulture had no problem getting questions answered by ChatGPT while writing this story.

The issue appears to have started around 0300 Eastern Time, with reports on Downdetector climbing steadily since. Downdetector indicates the problems are not restricted to the United States, with users in other countries reporting similar issues.

We contacted OpenAI to learn more about what's causing the outage, but didn't immediately hear back. Meanwhile, the company reported yesterday that it had surpassed $10 billion in annual recurring revenue as ChatGPT explodes in popularity. Maybe someone needs to turn on a few more servers?

This is a developing story. Check back for updates as we learn more. ®

OpenAI has updated the status page with a message saying it finally identified the root cause of the elevated error rates and latency and is now working to implement a fix.

A timeline for service restoration was not given.
