I can't converse with gpt chat via microphone. Help

I have this problem as of a nov 6 or so on my 13 mini, it’s definitely not working / a bug. I hit the voice as I used to last week, and it won’t load voice. I get this error. Then I select continue with default model and nothing happens.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the app just now but no luck. Too bad, hope it’s fixed soon, the voice stuff has been my daily morning coach for a few weeks now!

Edit: status shows a major outage right now so mine may be an unrelated issue.
