If you’ve been trying to access ChatGPT, you are not alone. The popular AI chatbot has reportedly stopped working for many users around the world.
According to Downdetector, a website that tracks real-time outages and service disruptions, users in India and several other countries began reporting problems earlier today. The issue appears to have spiked at 12:44 PM IST, with over 500 reports logged within minutes.
Frustrated users took to social media platforms to share their experiences, with many complaining that they were unable to load conversations or access the service entirely. Some reported receiving error messages, while others faced long loading times before the page failed to respond.
As of now, OpenAI has not issued any official statement regarding the outage or its cause. Technical disruptions of this scale are relatively rare, but this isn’t the first time ChatGPT has suffered downtime due to server overloads or infrastructure issues.
For now, users will have to wait until services are restored. Downdetector’s live outage map shows the problem impacting major cities across India, Europe, and North America, suggesting a widespread server-side issue.
We will continue to update this story once more information becomes available, including any official response from OpenAI.
