What this check measures
Official status page (Statuspage API). ChatGPT (OpenAI)'s own public status page. Every 5 minutes we read the overall indicator the ChatGPT (OpenAI) team publishes (operational, minor issues, major or critical outage, maintenance). This reflects what ChatGPT (OpenAI) has acknowledged: a fresh problem can take a few minutes to appear there, and a problem that affects only your account, region or network may never appear.

ChatGPT (OpenAI) not working? Questions and answers
Is ChatGPT (OpenAI) down for everyone or just me?
This page shows what our own checks see from a server in Europe, independent of your phone, Wi-Fi or mobile network. If this page says ChatGPT (OpenAI) is up but it fails for you, the problem is more likely local: your internet connection, DNS, your ISP's route, the app version, or your account. If this page shows failures too, it is probably down for many people.
What should I do if ChatGPT (OpenAI) is not working?
Check the official status page linked above, reload or force-close and reopen the app, try mobile data instead of Wi-Fi (or the other way round), and clear the browser cache. Start a new chat, and for the API retry with exponential backoff; partial outages often affect one model or feature only.
How often is ChatGPT (OpenAI) checked?
Every 5 minutes, around the clock. Each check is stored, so the uptime figures and the history on this page are real measurements, not user reports.
