OpenAI outage FAQ
Is OpenAI down or is ChatGPT just slow?
This checks openai.com. ChatGPT and the API are separate components that can degrade independently — status.openai.com breaks out ChatGPT, the API, and specific models.
My app's OpenAI calls are failing — is it an outage?
Check status.openai.com for API incidents. If there's none, it may be rate limits or your key. Monitoring your own AI endpoints catches both platform and integration issues.
