This is a hard down. Even the API calls wont go through. I am not getting alerts for their service status either. I've never seen it this bad. I guess this is what happens when your SRE team is in limbo due to company politics.
EDIT: Disregard the comment about status. I did receive those.
Lots of posts showing ChatGPT going offline. Some showing errors, others failing to log in after the session expires.
It has had an incredible amount of mainstream media attention around the world in the last couple of days so it’s hardly surprising. That said, it did cross my mind that dark forces or a disgruntled employee might be at work.
Yes. Usually the service grinds and slows. This was a sudden auth failure - quite strange! You can’t help but think it is more than capacity - or maybe I am getting carried away with the soap opera.
They just rolled out ChatGPT Voice, likely overloaded due to this.
Yes, but why roll out a capacity bursting feature in the midst of a crisis.
