Is OpenAI down?

No, OpenAI is working normally. UptimeRobot monitors openai.com around the clock from multiple global locations, and our latest checks show no confirmed issues.

You can see the current status and recent incident history at the top of this page. If you're still having trouble reaching openai.com, the issue may be local to your connection, DNS, VPN, browser, or device.

UptimeRobot shows OpenAI as operational right now, which means openai.com is responding normally from our global monitoring locations.

If you're still having trouble accessing it, the issue may be local to your connection. Try switching browsers, devices, or networks, and check your DNS or VPN settings.

Try opening openai.com from another browser, device, or network (e.g., mobile hotspot). You can also disable your VPN, clear DNS cache, restart your router, or check whether your internet provider is having issues. If the site works elsewhere, the problem is likely local rather than a confirmed OpenAI outage.

We monitor openai.com from our own infrastructure. When a check fails, we repeat the test from two other randomly chosen global locations to eliminate false positives. If these checks fail too, we mark OpenAI as down.

A OpenAI outage means our checks detected that openai.com was not responding correctly after multiple checks from different global locations. This doesn't always mean every user is affected. Some outages are regional, some affect only certain features, and some appear as slow loading instead of a full failure.

Not exactly. UptimeRobot monitors openai.com from the outside, so we can detect when something is wrong and show high-level symptoms such as connection timeouts, HTTP errors, or failed responses from specific regions.

However, we don't have visibility into internal systems, so we can't identify the exact root cause (like a failed deployment, database issue, or infrastructure problem).

What we can show you:

• When the issue started and when it was resolved
• How long the outage lasted
• Which regions were affected
• The type of error observed (for example, timeouts or HTTP status codes like 500 or 404)

For detailed root cause information and official updates, we recommend checking OpenAI's official status page.

Create a free UptimeRobot account and set up a monitor for openai.com. You'll receive alerts via email, SMS, Slack, webhooks, and other integrations as soon as we detect an issue, and again when it's resolved.

Alternatively, you can check whether OpenAI offers notifications on its official status page.
