OpenAI’s ChatGPT has been restored after experiencing a significant global outage, on Thursday.
Reports of issues began surfacing around 2:30 AM ET, with users encountering various problems such as “bad gateway” errors and difficulties accessing the service through both web and mobile platforms.
The outage affected users across the United States, the United Kingdom, Asia, and other regions, including Pakistan.
The company acknowledging the outage, stated on its status page that they are “currently investigating elevated error rates in the API.” However, they have not yet disclosed the specific cause of the disruptions.
The outage has left millions unable to use ChatGPT, impacting both free and premium subscribers. Many users took to social media to express their frustrations, comparing the situation to a power blackout in a tech-dependent world.
