Reports of ChatGPT service disruptions surfaced online today as users took to reddit and other social media platforms to report problems accessing OpenAI's AI chatbot.
According to reddit users, they could reach the ChatGPT website just fine but are unable to log in, while the app seems to work perfectly fine. Some users reported errors such as “Encountered invalidated oauth token for user, failing request” and “elevated errors.”
However, on our end, along with a couple of colleagues have experienced no problems whatsoever, leading us to believe it could be a regional issue.
Partial outages can occur for a variety of reasons, including infrastructure issues, regional networking problems, or phased deployments that temporarily impact certain users. In such cases, service availability may vary depending on location, server assignment, or the specific AI model being accessed.
As of publication, OpenAI has not publicly announced a widespread outage, and the full scope and cause of the reported disruptions remained unclear.
