ChatGPT, which was down for thousands of users in the U.S. on Tuesday, was back online, according to outage tracking website Downdetector.com. At the peak of the disruption, more than 13,000 users reported problems with the chatbot, before reports fell to 309.
According to media reports, there were over 12,000 reports from the US alone on the outage. In India, the peak number of ChatGPT outages reported were logged at 01:55 AM IST, with the number of reports standing at 1,516.
The site Downdetector.com tracks outages by aggregating user-submitted reports from multiple sources.
The actual number of affected users may differ from what’s shown on Downdetector as these reports are user-submitted.
“We have identified the issue, applied the necessary mitigations and are monitoring the recovery,” ChatGPT parent OpenAI said.
OpenAI admitted this on ChatGPT’s status page at around 2:00 AM (IST), where it wrote, “Elevated error rates for ChatGPT and Platform,” which is a developer-focused portal for accessing OpenAI's models. The company added that they are working to fix the issue. After around 25 minutes of posting this, OpenAI shared another update in which it wrote, “Elevated error rates for fine tuning jobs,” without explaining what these jobs were.
At around 3:00 AM IST, OpenAI reportedly fixed the issue, and thereafter, the platforms gradually began working properly.
