Using Sora API to generate videos, getting this in my logs. No errors, but no videos. This happened all of a sudden yesterday: 2026-05-30 04:36:37,890 - api.pipeline - INFO - Video video_6a1a686cede08191b8b61ac2948c25dd04e633957e897339 status: in_progress, progress: 0 The API just returns 200 OK, …

it works for us again, but it’s flagging prompts that were ok previously. Anyway, hope it will be back working for everyone soon enough

Same issue here. Videos are not generating. They just stick in an endless ‘load’ but never generate. If I refresh the page, the video creation request disappears. Happens across multiple browsers, devices, and with every prompt.

Hello, I’m experiencing a problem with Sora video generation. Today, all video generation tasks stopped working.

They’re aware of the problem and looking into it. We should have an update shortly. Thanks again.

im using Make for api and all my videos stopped yesterday. i have dozens stuck “in progress”. Same issue today.

Hi, I have tried using sora 2 pro through open ai and replicate. And I am receiving this error “Service unavailable”. [image]

Hi @T.Maillet ,

Just to clarify: Sora 2 / Videos API is deprecated, but according to the docs it is scheduled to shut down on September 24, 2026. So a current 503 Service Unavailable error is not necessarily explained by the deprecation alone.
