It's not just you: ChatGPT is down for many users (Update: Resolved)
- ChatGPT faced a “major outage,” with many users unable to log in and use the service.
- OpenAI’s status page confirmed the outage and said it was fixing the issue.
- As of now, it appears service is back up and running normally for most users.
Update, June 4, 2024 (02:23 PM ET): After an extensive outage this morning, it appears ChatGPT is back. The outage started in the early morning hours on Tuesday and then appeared to be fixed by the start of business in Eastern time. However, the system then stopped working again, with services resuming in full only in the past hour or so.

Original article, June 4, 2024 (03:54 AM ET): ChatGPT, the popular AI service many people use for everyday tasks, is suffering from an outage. Many users report that they cannot access the service. They are unable to log in and send messages to the chatbot, and as a result, are also not getting back any answers.
We’re seeing numerous user reports on X that ChatGPT is down. For me, the chatbot doesn’t completely load, and when I try to send a message, I get an expired sign-in error. Even after signing in, the chatbot doesn’t load and loops back through this cycle.
DownDetector also shows a large spike for a worldwide OpenAI outage, which can be read as an indicator of ChatGPT not working properly.
ChatGPT’s status page confirms that the service is unavailable for some users.
The status mentions that though ChatGPT has had an excellent 99.67% uptime in the last 90 days, it is currently suffering from degraded performance.
OpenAI escalated ChatGPT’s performance status as a “major outage.”
We’re unable to ascertain the cause of ChatGPT’s current outage. It could be that the service is experiencing a surge in traffic or that there is some other issue. You can try some of these ChatGPT fixes, but since this is a server outage, you are unlikely to get any relief until OpenAI fixes things on their end. There’s also no word on how long this outage will last. We’ll update this article as soon as we learn more.
