OpenAI is currently experiencing API errors, search, and vision-related issues across ChatGPT. They’re actively investigating, so if you’re running into problems, it’s likely related to this.

:small_blue_diamond: Current issues being investigated:

:heavy_check_mark: Elevated API errors

Hopefully, they’ll have it resolved soon! In the meantime, keeping an eye on the status page is the best way to stay updated.

Just wanted to make an obvious, recent post with a clear subject so people can easily see it before reporting issues. Hopefully, this helps cut down on duplicate bug threads while OpenAI works on a fix!

I’m getting no response for real time api gpt-4o-realtime-preview-2024-12-17
but the issue is not found in https://status.openai.com/
do you know if this has been resolved ?

The OpenAI status page currently reports no ongoing issues, so the outage from yesterday appears to be resolved. If you’re still experiencing problems, here are a few troubleshooting steps that might help:

:white_check_mark: Clear your cache & cookies, then refresh the page.

:white_check_mark: Log out and back in to reset your session.

:white_check_mark: Try a different browser or device to see if the issue is local.

:white_check_mark: Check if your network (e.g., company firewall, VPN) is blocking access.

:white_check_mark: If using the API, confirm you haven’t hit rate limits or authentication errors.

:white_check_mark: Try switching to a mobile network or VPN to see if it’s a regional issue.

If none of these resolve it, it might be worth checking other posts to see if others are facing the same issue. If it persists, submitting a support ticket through (https://help.openai.com/) would be the best next step. Let me know if any of these work for you!

I haven’t made any code changes, my limit is also good, I tried creating a new api key, but the same thing, I’m getting empty response for any audio send to the real time api

Am seeing extremely slow response times for the Assistants API. Brand new thread (createThread responds immediately), 30s+ delays on openai.beta.threads.runs.createAndPoll

Could it be related? Am querying from Switzerland. Chat works fine, including the Assistant playground. SDK is up to date.

This issue persists and should immediately be classified as a CRITICAL OUTAGE
