Open status.openai.comWhat UpButler measured
API edge is answeringHTTP 401 · 148 ms
One request without credentials to api.openai.com every two minutes, from eu-central (one location, not a global view). An answer (the expected "not authenticated") shows the edge, TLS and routing work. It does not prove that authenticated calls succeed. The probe is for OpenAI as a whole, not for ChatGPT specifically.

Each bar is a day, coloured by the worst incident OpenAI reported for ChatGPT. It is their incident record, not a measurement of uptime.
No finished incidents on record yet since 2026-10-10. UpButler keeps what OpenAI publishes for 90 days from the day it starts tracking a service.
Get alerted when ChatGPT goes down
No account. One email when OpenAI reports an incident that affects ChatGPT, one when it is over. You confirm the address first, and every email has a one-click unsubscribe.
Or follow the RSS feed. On UpButler? Add OpenAI as a dependency to route it to Slack, Teams or a webhook.
Status badge
Show ChatGPT's current status in a README or an internal wiki. It updates by itself.
[](https://upbutler.com/status/openai/chatgpt)Tell your outage from OpenAI's
Declare that your project depends on ChatGPT. When one of your monitors fails while OpenAI has an incident that began around the same time, UpButler tags your incident "likely upstream" with their incident linked, says so in the alert and the AI report, and tells your on-call agent not to change code.
npx upbutler init finds the dependency from your env var names and packages. The catalog, dependencies and upstream-aware incidents are on every plan, including Free.

}Questions
- Is ChatGPT down right now?
- No. As of 2026-10-10 07:20 UTC, ChatGPT is up. This page reads the status again every 60 seconds.
- Where does this status come from?
- From OpenAI's own status page API at https://status.openai.com. UpButler reads it once for everyone (not once per visitor) every 60 seconds with conditional requests, and shows it unchanged: incident titles and component names are OpenAI's words. Their page covers more than this page shows; it is narrowed to the parts that concern ChatGPT.
- What does UpButler's own OpenAI check prove?
- Every two minutes UpButler sends one request without credentials to the OpenAI API edge (api.openai.com) from eu-central. Any answer from the edge, usually HTTP 401, shows that DNS, TLS and routing work from there. It does not prove that authenticated requests succeed, and it is one location, not a global view. It is most useful when it fails before their status page changes; the page then says so.
- Can I get an alert when ChatGPT goes down?
- Yes, without an account: enter your email on this page, confirm the link we send, and you get one email when OpenAI reports an incident that affects ChatGPT and one when it is over. There is also an RSS feed at https://upbutler.com/status/openai/feed.rss. Teams on UpButler can route the same alert to Slack, Teams or a webhook.
- How can my agent or app check ChatGPT status?
- Fetch https://upbutler.com/status/openai/chatgpt/status.agent.json: a small JSON document with a verdict (proceed, retry, fallback or pause) and retryAfterSec. No key is needed. The same answer is an MCP tool, upstream_status {"service":"openai","component":"chatgpt"}, on https://upbutler.com/mcp/public.
- How do I know whether an outage is mine or OpenAI's?
- Add "openai" to the dependencies of your UpButler workspace. When one of your monitors fails while OpenAI has an incident that began around the same time, your incident is tagged "likely upstream" with their incident linked, and your on-call agent is told not to change code.
