f you’re in India and finding ChatGPT unresponsive—endless loading screens, server errors, or blank responses—you’re far from alone. OpenAI’s powerhouse AI chatbot is grappling with a fresh wave of disruptions today, December 3, 2025, and Indian users are right in the thick of it.

While the outage feels global, reports from the subcontinent are piling up, echoing a pattern of reliability hiccups that have plagued the service throughout the year.

Here’s a breakdown of what’s happening, why it might be hitting India hard, and what you can do next.

The Current Outage: What’s Going Wrong?

OpenAI’s status page confirms elevated error rates specifically for ChatGPT, with the issue identified just minutes ago and mitigation underway.

This aligns with user complaints surging across platforms: the web version is largely unresponsive, mobile apps are glitchy for some, and prompts either fail to load or return incomplete outputs.

No region-specific alerts are posted yet, but the problem appears server-side, affecting login, response generation, and even API calls tied to the chatbot.
In India, the impact is palpable. While Downdetector’s India-specific page isn’t showing a massive spike in real-time data at this hour, historical patterns from similar incidents reveal hundreds of local reports—often 500+ within hours—focusing on web access (over 80% of complaints) and app crashes.
