Thank you for posting this. Was surprised to not see any mention on the front page. They just had me do an infuriating CAPTCHA to allow me to log in, and when I was done, the login button didn't work.

EDIT: Just created an account to post this thank-you after years and years of visiting.

Yeah I wasted 10 minutes on this, and even contacted support.

Their status page is misleading and the only way to see it is to look at the most recent tiny sliver of their chart.

Thats one of the worst CAPTCHAS I have ever had to deal with.

After passing it you end up getting a 503 ERROR against https://tcr9i.openai.com/fc/gfct/, and it shows no actual fail notification, and prevents you from logging in.
