OpenAI’s own status history only reveals a flurry of near-daily events this week, with high error rates hitting the platform Friday morning, engineers applying mitigations and monitoring maintenance. Just a day ago, users experienced high error rates in ChatGPT, along with outages in gpt-image-2 and workspace agent services, as well as file upload and image generation failures.

Adding to the turmoil, this latest scare comes on the back of nearly 24 hours of outages just 2 days ago, as the AI ​​giant has been experiencing high error rates in ChatGPT, Codex and its APIs since July 23.

According to the latest independent testing, some monitors show that the basic ChatGPT web app itself is responding normally – suggesting that vulnerable codecs and API-level services may currently be included. But with OpenAI’s event log reading like a weekly event rather than a rare event, users are asking: How long ago? Next Outage hit?

OpenAI has yet to issue an official statement on today’s incident.
