Related (?): Is ChatGPT down at the moment?

When I visit it, I am getting a poem about how it is over capacity. And that's it.

Is ChatGPT down at the moment?

No, but ChatGPT is at full capacity which means that it will 'randomly' block new connections until load drops. Keep trying every 5 - 10 minutes and you'll eventually get in

You can also pay for the new premium subscription for $42/month

Can’t seem to do that while the thing is down… wonder why they didn’t choose to separate the payment UX from the actual product.

Frustrated with the same question. The service doesn't need to be up to have a "buy pro and get in now" option. Seems like they're missing on ready conversions.

it seems to be constantly that way norwadays. I think they might give priority to paying API users, and of course by now there has been enough time for applications to implement chatgpt stuff.
