ChatGPT hit by outage: login, app and Codex not working for many

ChatGPT went down for many users, and reports of trouble spiked on outage tracking sites, according to Moneycontrol. People said they could not log in, the ChatGPT app was not working, and Codex, OpenAI's coding tool, was also affected.

What happened

Outage tracking sites collect reports from users who run into problems with a service. When those reports jump, it often means something is wrong on the company's side, not on your phone or Wi-Fi. The trouble here covers three areas: logging in, the ChatGPT app and Codex.

Who it affects

Anyone who uses ChatGPT, its mobile app or Codex could run into this. That includes people who use it for writing or research, and businesses that lean on it for daily tasks. If your work depends on it, an outage can stall things quickly. If you do not use it today, you can relax.

What is not known yet

The material available does not say what caused the outage, how many people were hit, or when service will return to normal. OpenAI runs a public status page where it posts updates on problems like this, and that is the place to look for confirmation.

What to watch for

Outages are a favorite moment for scammers, who share fake links that claim to fix the problem. Treat any link in an outage post with suspicion and never type your password into one. The alert box above lists the steps to take, including how to avoid making the problem worse by retrying too often.
