What to Do If OpenAI Is Down

If you are having trouble accessing OpenAI, try these troubleshooting steps before concluding that the service is experiencing an outage.

1

Check your internet connection

Before assuming OpenAI is down, verify that your internet connection is working. Try loading a different website like google.com. If other sites also fail to load, the problem is with your connection, not OpenAI.

2

Clear your browser cache and cookies

Corrupted cache data can prevent OpenAI from loading properly. Clear your browser cache and cookies, then try again. In most browsers you can do this from Settings > Privacy > Clear Browsing Data.

3

Try a different browser or device

If OpenAI does not load in your current browser, try a different one (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). You can also try accessing OpenAI from your phone or a different computer to rule out device-specific issues.

4

Flush your DNS cache

Stale DNS records can prevent your device from connecting to OpenAI. On Windows, open Command Prompt and run "ipconfig /flushdns". On Mac, open Terminal and run "sudo dscacheutil -flushcache". On Linux, run "sudo systemd-resolve --flush-caches".

5

Try using a VPN

If OpenAI is blocked in your region or your ISP is having routing issues, connecting through a VPN may resolve the problem. This is especially helpful if OpenAI works for others but not for you.

6

Check for capacity limits or rate limiting

AI services like OpenAI can experience high demand during peak hours, leading to slow responses or temporary unavailability. If OpenAI is slow or returning errors, wait a few minutes and try again. Check OpenAI's official status page or social media for announcements about capacity issues.

Why is OpenAI not working?
There are several reasons OpenAI might not be working for you: (1) OpenAI could be experiencing a server-side outage affecting all users; (2) your internet connection may be down or unstable; (3) your DNS cache may be stale; (4) a regional network issue could be affecting your connection to OpenAI's servers; or (5) OpenAI may be performing scheduled maintenance. Check the uptime chart above to see if our monitors are also detecting issues.
How long do OpenAI outages usually last?
Most OpenAI outages are resolved within 30 minutes to 2 hours. Major outages affecting all users are typically addressed as a top priority by OpenAI's engineering team. Minor or regional outages may take longer to resolve. You can monitor the situation in real time on this page, which updates automatically.
Where can I report a OpenAI outage?
You can report issues with OpenAI through their official status page or support channels at https://openai.com. You can also check social media platforms like Twitter/X for reports from other users. This Qodex monitoring page provides an independent, automated check of OpenAI's availability.
Is OpenAI down just for me?
If this page shows OpenAI as "Operational" but you cannot access it, the issue is likely on your end. Try these steps: clear your browser cache, try a different browser or device, restart your router, try using a VPN, or check if your ISP is experiencing issues. If our monitors also show problems, it is a widespread issue.
