No, ChatGPT is not down.
OpenAI's official service signals currently show ChatGPT-related systems operating normally.
OpenAI's official status page reports that ChatGPT-related services are operational.
What to do next
If ChatGPT still is not working for you.
First separate a local session problem from a platform incident. Then move quickly to a fallback workflow so your writing, research, or coding session does not stall while OpenAI works through the issue.
Before you assume it is down
- Refresh the page and try an incognito window to rule out a cached session issue.
- Check whether the problem affects every prompt or only one conversation, upload, or login flow.
- Compare the service-level signals below with OpenAI's latest official incident update.
If it really is down
- Save active work and stop retrying requests that are already failing.
- Follow the next official incident update for scope and recovery progress.
- Switch to another model temporarily when the task cannot wait.
ChatGPT service surfaces
The individual signals behind this page's status.
7 more ChatGPT surfaces are operational.
Memorised alternative
Keep moving when one model goes quiet.
Memorised gives you ChatGPT alongside other leading AI models in one workspace. If ChatGPT goes down, slows down, or becomes unreliable, you can keep moving without losing your prompts, project context, or workflow.
The practical pitch
A single-model workflow is fragile. The moment one provider has an outage, your momentum breaks. Memorised gives you a unified AI workspace with multiple frontier models available in the same place.
Start in ChatGPT, switch to another model when needed, compare outputs, and keep your work organized instead of scrambling across different products and subscriptions.
