› what to do if ChatGPT is down
- -ChatGPT, the API, Codex and Sora are separate components; check which one is affected before you switch tools.
- -Retry with exponential backoff on 429 and 5xx errors instead of hammering the API; most short incidents clear within minutes.
- -Keep a fallback model from another provider (directly or through a router such as OpenRouter) behind a feature flag, so you can switch without a deploy.
- -Check the components list: the chat app, the API and single features (images, audio, fine-tuning) often fail separately.
- -Queue non-urgent jobs (batch summaries, embeddings) and replay them once the status page is green again.

FAQ
Is ChatGPT down right now?+
When this page was last built (10:17 UTC on Nov 14, 2026), OpenAI’s official status page reported: "Partial System Degradation", with 1 open incident. The status box at the top of this page re-checks every few minutes while you have it open.
Where is the official OpenAI status page?+
https://status.openai.com. It’s run by OpenAI itself and lists each component, open incidents and past incidents (it also covers OpenAI API). DevHunt reads its public status API; nothing here is added or guessed.
ChatGPT isn’t working for me, but the status page says it’s up. Why?+
Status pages update a few minutes after a problem starts, and small or regional issues sometimes never show up. Check your own network, VPN and API keys, try another browser or region, and look at the components list: one feature can fail while the rest works.
What can I use while ChatGPT is down?+
Common alternatives listed on DevHunt are linked below this FAQ. For a long outage, switch the part of your workflow that depends on OpenAI; for short ones, retrying with backoff is usually enough.
Does DevHunt collect outage reports from users?+
No. This page only shows what OpenAI’s official status page says, with the time it was checked. It does not count user reports, so it can lag behind an outage that OpenAI hasn’t acknowledged yet.
