Provider details

ChatGPT is OpenAI's consumer-facing AI assistant across web and mobile. It provides access to OpenAI chat models and tools, with plan-dependent limits and features.

What we monitor
ChatGPT Web — Consumer web interface
ChatGPT Mobile Apps — Mobile backend
Auth / Login — ChatGPT sign-in flow
Conversation Backend — Message submission
Image Generation — DALL-E image generation
Voice Mode — Voice mode backend

Common limits & quotas
  • Limits vary by plan and load. OpenAI's official pricing page does not publish stable message caps for all ChatGPT tiers; link users to the pricing page instead of hard-coding counts.
Ecosystem dependencies
Many third-party apps depend on OpenAI APIs or models, but dependencies vary by vendor and can change over timeMicrosoft Copilot (consumer) runs on OpenAI models via Azure OpenAI (separate infrastructure)Azure OpenAI Service is a distinct infrastructure — often stays up during direct OpenAI API outages
Operator notes
  • Community channels often surface issues before official incident pages, but reports are noisy and should be cross-checked
  • Some incidents appear around rollout or traffic spikes, but users should rely on live probe/status signals rather than assumed outage windows
  • Workspace SSO and chatgpt.com login path can behave differently from pure consumer login; don't classify an SSO issue as a global outage without checking
  • During API outages, users with Azure OpenAI provisioning are often unaffected — consider fallback routing if your stack supports it

How we monitor

DownForAI checks monitored AI service surfaces on a rotating schedule, roughly every 75 minutes per surface, from a single centralized probe infrastructure. For services with an official machine-readable status page, we use that official status signal when available. For other services, we perform a basic public-surface check. Some services block datacenter probes; in those cases we mark them as “Monitoring limited” instead of treating a failed probe as a confirmed outage. Status is classified as Operational, Degraded, or Outage. Network latency (check response time) measures how long the monitored endpoint took to respond to our probe — it is not model inference speed, time-to-first-token, or tokens-per-second performance. We are independent of all providers listed and receive no compensation to report any particular status.
