OpenAI suffered an outage on Monday morning, preventing users from using the ChatGPT and Sora apps. 

The problem affected users in the U.S. and the U.K. 

It appeared to peak around 11 a.m., but by evening Downdetector was reporting, “user reports indicate no current problems at OpenAI.”

However, more than 1,500 US users and almost 500 users in the UK submitted reports to Downdetector, according to The Star.

Almost 100% concerned inability to access ChatGPT. 

One user wrote: “ChatGPT is down. It has continuous errors. I have posted the error message which states that something is wrong with the subscription and the chat cannot be loaded. I have checked my subscription and it is valid.”
