Live OpenAI Status Across Every Service
OpenAI operates multiple distinct services that share infrastructure but can fail independently. The live status above reflects the overall ChatGPT consumer product — the sections below list recent incidents broken down by service.
ChatGPT (Web and Mobile)
The consumer-facing chatbot at chatgpt.com and the iOS/Android apps. This is the most-used service and the primary focus of our monitoring.
OpenAI API
Programmatic access for developers. Shares infrastructure with ChatGPT but is billed and rate-limited separately.
Codex
Code generation models (GPT-powered code completion and agentic code tools).
Sora
OpenAI’s video-generation model. Typically rolled out gradually and experiences outages independent of ChatGPT.
DALL-E and Image Generation
Image generation, available both inside ChatGPT and via the API. Can fail independently of the chat service.
Voice Mode
Voice conversations inside ChatGPT. Uses a distinct audio pipeline that occasionally has issues while text chat works.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is OpenAI one service or many?
OpenAI operates many distinct services under one corporate umbrella. Each has its own deployment cadence, team, and incident profile, so outages often affect only one.
If ChatGPT is down, is the API down too?
Not necessarily. They share infrastructure but not always — API-only and ChatGPT-only outages both happen. Check the component tags on recent incidents to see the scope.
