The code interpreter is offline, does anyone know what’s going on?

I also just got one of those little yellow/orange popups saying it was currently under maintenance. I hope it is back up soon! I noticed some strangeness with it yesterday where it would just keep looping. Hopefully that will be fixed with the maintenance. 😜 😜

I noticed i can’t open new code interpreter chats, but can upload files to the two i had opened yesterday. I was working on it most of the night til nearly dawn and the last few hours it began repeating mistakes more frequently or forgetting the instructions one prompt into them. Went to sleep, woke up this morning to the problem being more pronounced. Now it’s as listed above. Good to know they are doing maintenance on it. Maybe that’s all that’s wrong, gotta give it time to finish the maintenance cycle.

Resolved - Code Interpreter is operational.
