Update: ChatGPT is back online.

The website appears to be functioning normally again. OpenAI says it’s now investigating what caused of the outage that occurred between 3:16PM PT and 7:38PM PT yesterday.

We began to see recovery for API traffic starting at approximately 5:40pm PST, and for ChatGPT and Sora around 6:50pm PST. We mitigated the issues at 7:38 pm PST, and all services are now fully operational.

It was a tough day for major internet services.
