ChatGPT Incident History

This archive holds 84 incidents tagged as affecting consumer ChatGPT, recorded between 7 April 2026 and 27 August 2026. In 70% of them ChatGPT was the only component OpenAI listed, so an incident here usually means the chat experience itself was affected rather than a knock-on effect from another service. When a second component does appear it is most often file uploads (6 incidents), image generation (5) or Codex (5). Figures in this paragraph describe our own stored archive as of 31 August 2026; the archive begins on 7 April 2026, so earlier incidents are not represented.
