ChatGPT down again after “major outage”

After what OpenAI referred to as a “major outage” earlier today that affected millions of users globally, ChatGPT seems to have recovered. But it appears that the chatbot is having problems once more, as OpenAI reports that it is “unavailable for some users” once more.

Reports of today’s ChatGPT issues first started at around 2.30am ET / 7.30am BDT / 4.30pm AEST on June 4. OpenAI acknowledged that there was a big issue, with the company’s status page reporting for several hours that its AI sidekick was unavailable.

OpenAI then pushed out a fix at around 7.30am ET / 12.30pm BST / 4.30pm AEST, with the service’s status returning to a healthier “all systems operational”. But it seems the fix hasn’t completely done the job, with many users on social media complaining that they can’t access the service – and OpenAI confirming that there are again issues.
