ChatGPT had some problems before, but it’s back – here’s what you need to know

This is what ChatGPT looks like when you ask it a query, and yes, it’s a little empty with the circle constantly spinning on mobile; It also looks the same in the web app right now.

OpenAI confirms a problem

Here’s a live look at the status page, which shows that OpenAI is working to fix the issue with ChatGPT high errors. However, so far there are no details on what is causing the outage. Previous ChatGPT outages have lasted from a few hours to many, many hours, so we hope this is a quick fix.

Down Detector reports are starting to go up

While it’s not skyrocketing, Down Detector reports that issues with ChatGPT have increased to over 3,400 as of 2:40 pm ET. That’s the latest update to the service, but it’s likely still at that level, if not a little higher.

It’s not a resolution update, but OpenAI updated its status page at 2:57 pm ET and wrote: “We are investigating the issue for the listed services.” under the same “Increased ChatGPT error rates”. It appears that the OpenAI teams are further investigating the causes of the high error rates.

Through my ChatGPT Plus account on the web, I still don’t receive any response from the AI, and the spinning, or rather glowing, circle only lasts a few minutes.

ChatGPT could return for some

Here’s some good news: Lance Ulanoff, TechRadar’s editor-at-large, is chatting once again with ChatGPT. For some, this could be a sign that the AI ​​chatbot is making a comeback. I’ll try it too, but my original query keeps spinning.

OpenAI says it has applied a fix for ChatGPT’s increasing error rates

At 3:12 pm ET, OpenAI says ChatGPT should be back for most users or closer to normal operations, writing: “We have applied mitigation and are monitoring the recovery.” The state color has also returned to green, indicating that it is operational, instead of yellow.

And at the same time, my ChatGPT is now responding to my queries again, so this might be one of the shortest issues with AI Chatbot in recent times.

Fall detector reports are decreasing

Down Detector reports have also started to decline, now standing at 115 reports for ChatGPT as of 3:03 pm ET. Hopefully your experience with ChatGPT is back to normal, but OpenAI is still monitoring the full recovery from increased error rates now that the fix has been implemented.

If you’re still having problems, it’s worth refreshing your browser if you’re on the web or opening a new chat in the ChatGPT app after closing and reopening it, as that could do the trick.

OpenAI is still monitoring the ChatGPT recovery, but we are approaching 30 minutes after the fix was deployed. The status page is still operational and the fall detector reports have continued to drop.
