About OpenAI
Before assuming a full OpenAI outage, use this page to compare live signals for openai.com. We run technical checks such as HTTP status, response time, DNS resolution and SSL certificate validation, then present the result in a way that helps you decide whether the service is actually down or whether the problem may be local to your browser, device, ISP, VPN or region. AI services can show partial failures across chat, API, model latency, authentication and billing, so one live HTTP check is useful but should be read with the status details. For OpenAI, users commonly check affected areas such as ChatGPT, OpenAI API, Authentication, Billing, Model latency, File uploads. Always compare the latest check time with what you see on your own connection because outage conditions can change quickly.
Our latest check for openai.com completed with an uncertain result. Review the HTTP, DNS and SSL details below and compare with your own network.

Troubleshooting Steps
If OpenAI is down for everyone:
- Check official status or support channels
- Wait for restoration before repeated login/payment attempts
- Monitor this page for live technical changes
If it's only down for you:
- Clear browser cache
- Try another browser or device
- Restart router
- Flush DNS cache
- Try mobile data instead of WiFi
- Disable VPN/proxy
If the page fails for you but this checker reports reachable, treat it as a possible local or regional issue first. Refresh openai.com, open it in a private window, clear browser cache, flush DNS, temporarily disable VPN or proxy tools and try a mobile hotspot or different Wi-Fi network. Good service-specific checks include: Check web and API separately; Compare status with API error codes; Retry after a short delay; Verify official status before assuming a global outage. If the result here is DOWN, wait a few minutes and check official channels before repeatedly logging in, paying, uploading files or retrying sensitive actions. If the result is UP, the issue may be local, regional or account-specific.
Flush DNS Cache Commands:
ipconfig /flushdnssudo dscacheutil -flushcachesudo systemd-resolve --flush-cachesOfficial Status & Verification
For final confirmation, check OpenAI's official support, status dashboard, help center or verified social channels when available. This page provides independent technical monitoring for openai.com, but it cannot replace incident updates from the service owner, especially for partial outages that affect only apps, APIs, payments, login or specific regions.
