I see. I’ll just wait patiently. 
Thank you for helping me understand what went wrong. I hope everyone else also gets this issue resolved quickly!
Hey, I am connecting from the Netherlands. Hope this information helps.
When the users reporting the first problems seemed to originate from the same country/region it was of value but now it appears to be either ChatGPT itself or a internet provider close to them.
As such I removed that as advice from my earlier post.
What would be interesting to know but I don’t think it will be noted, is if it was a major failure in a region that backed up the logs, etc. and that took down ChatGPT or overloaded the internet provider.
I have been getting the same message today. I managed to find away for someone to help me. I was charged £1.00 they logged in check and disappeared with out resolving the problem and cleared down my cookies so i cannot go back to the same page. I am now getting the following message instead of the blocked one. Error Access denied.
ChatGPT is working for me.
Prompt
Write a nice hello message.
Completion
