Am I alone?
I can access the interface of chatgpt but every prompt I’m sending doesn’t work.
An error occurred. If this issue persists please contact us through our help center at help.openai.com.
Of course, that popup still showing up:
“We’re experiencing exceptionally high demand. Please hang tight as we work on scaling our systems.”
Should scaling the system and improving stability be a priority instead of making a pro paid version ? The system is great, but if it’s not reliable, doesn’t worth much.
Hi @pinardalec. ChatGPT is currently working. If this happens in the future, I would suggest reloading the page periodically. I have found that this is the quickest way to get back to using ChatGPT.
This error usually occurs when there’s too much traffic. If the entire system is down, we would be able to see this on OpenAI’s status page.
The operating costs for ChatGPT cannot be cheap, especially since ChatGPT just set the record for fastest-growing user base. We’ve already hit 100 million monthly active users just two months after launch. This is likely the reason why OpenAI is rolling out a pro version.
Hi,
The whole point is about stability. If people get used to the tool and they rely on it, it can’t be an intermittent service.
This error usually occurs when there’s too much traffic. If the entire system is down, we would be able to see this on OpenAI’s status page.
I didn’t say that the entire system was down ?
Let’s wait. OpenAI must have different teams that attacks different angles (stability/scalability/marketing).
You had asked, “Am I alone?”. I wanted to let you know that I was not experiencing the same issue and give you the tools to check if you’re the only one impacted by errors in the future.
The OpenAI team are definitely working to scale ChatGPT due to the fact that they just set the record for the fastest growing userbase. They likely just have their hands full. If we give them more time, I think that we will start to see increased stability.
This page OpenAI’s status page doesn’t confirm if you’re the only one affected or not. This page shows the outage on the service that are known. Hope this is clearer.
Let’s see how it goes.
