OpenAI’s popular AI chatbot, ChatGPT was down for users across the globe. According to Downdetector, the outage lasted for around three hours with 74% users reporting an error. 

The issue has been partially resolved now. 

OpenAI’s website now shows an update stating, “API, ChatGPT, and Sora traffic has largely recovered. We are monitoring the situation to ensure full resolution.”

CEO Sam Altman also tweeted, “we back,” at 9 13 AM today. “I was about to offer to start being the mechanical turk for ChatGPT,” he joked.

Frustrated users replied to him noting, “It only took three hours!” 

Last month, the AI chatbot had been disrupted for 30 minutes for more than 19,000 users globally.
