Image Generation Incident History
This archive holds 13 incidents tagged as affecting image generation, recorded between 9 April 2026 and 5 August 2026. Only 31% were image-only, making this the component least likely to fail on its own; it usually appears alongside ChatGPT (5 incidents) or the OpenAI API (4). In practice an image failure is often the visible symptom of a wider incident, so check the live status card before rewriting your prompt. 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.
