- Full recovery for ChatGPT occurred around 8:16 PM PST.
We are currently investigating a separate incident regarding Sora and will be updating the status page.
Next Steps:
OpenAI will run a full root-cause analysis of this outage and will share details on this page when complete.
ChatGPT is starting to act up again by not complying to instructions like it did previous to yesterday’s outage.
It is so unreliable this evening that I dare not even consider using the suggestions received.
ChatGPT is also now having difficulty extracting accurate text from images and it is making it difficult to get as reliable help as I’ve previously experienced.
Thought the tech team might want to know of this issue.
Yes resolved… and o1 pro is again dumber… First two days was wow, but now is worse that 4o…
The API should return an error when there’s an outage, not just hang indefinitely.
Edit:
Locking threads like this is a very bad look.
@Foxalabs When you knock on a door and nobody shows up after a few moments, you realize that nobody is home, so you go do something else. You don’t continue standing at the door for hours until the homeowner returns. The API is not living on OpenAI’s servers. It does not depend on the server being up, or “someone being home”. It can and should manage a timeout event as any standard service would.
The problem is that the systems that return that error may also be down, if you knock on the door of an empty house, you don’t get an answer, same situation.
