Is OpenAI down right now?
Live OpenAI status pulled from status.openai.com. We track the API, ChatGPT, Sora, DALL-E, Whisper, the playground, billing, and webhooks. OpenAI publishes per-component status, so even when "API" is green, an individual model family (e.g., GPT-4o vision) can be degraded — expand the OpenAI card above to see exactly what’s affected.

Quick facts about OpenAI
- OpenAI status is published at status.openai.com (Statuspage.io).
- API and ChatGPT are independent components — one can be down while the other is fine.
- Different model families (GPT-4o, GPT-5, o1, DALL-E, Whisper) are tracked separately.
- Streaming responses degrade more often than blocking ones during partial outages.
- Most outages are 5–60 minutes. Multi-hour outages are rare but happen 1–2 times per year.
Frequently asked questions
Why is ChatGPT slow today?
Check the dashboard above. If "ChatGPT" shows degraded, it’s on OpenAI’s side. Common causes: spike in user load, model rollouts, or upstream Azure issues (OpenAI runs on Azure infrastructure). If ChatGPT shows green but you’re seeing slowness, it’s likely network or browser-specific.
My OpenAI API requests are timing out — is the API down?
If the API component is green, your timeouts are likely caused by long completion times rather than an outage. Set a smaller `max_tokens` and use streaming. If the API shows degraded or partial outage, retry with exponential backoff and consider falling back to a secondary provider (Anthropic, Gemini) for critical paths.
How do I know which model is down?
Click "View details" on the OpenAI card above to expand the affected components list. OpenAI lists each model family separately on their status page.
Does OpenAI have a status API?
Yes — https://status.openai.com/api/v2/summary.json. Standard Atlassian Statuspage schema.
When was OpenAI’s last major outage?
See the 90-day history heatmap above for verified data. The most notable recent multi-hour outages were caused by upstream Azure issues and DDoS attacks.
