Troubleshooting tips for ChatGPT
If our monitor reports ChatGPT is up but you still can't reach it, try these steps in order:
Hard-refresh your browser
- Press Ctrl + F5 (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + R (Mac) to bypass the cache.
- If that fails, open the page in an incognito / private window.
Clear cookies and cache
- Open your browser settings → Privacy / History.
- Clear cookies and cached files for the last hour, then reload.
Flush your DNS
- Windows: open Command Prompt and run ipconfig /flushdns.
- macOS: open Terminal and run sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder.
- Linux: run sudo systemd-resolve --flush-caches (or systemctl restart nscd).
Restart your router
- Unplug the router and modem for 30 seconds.
- Plug them back in and wait until all lights are stable, then retry.
Try a different DNS or VPN
- Switch your DNS to 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare) or 8.8.8.8 (Google).
- Use a reputable VPN to test from a different country — useful when the site may be region-blocked.
What usually breaks on ChatGPT
ChatGPT is OpenAI's conversational AI assistant. Its outages are unusual in that partial degradation is far more common than a hard failure — the site loads, you can log in, and then responses stall, cut off mid-sentence or return an error after a long wait.
Responses stop mid-sentence
The answer starts streaming and then stops. This is capacity-related, not a problem with your connection or browser.
'Something went wrong' on every message
Usually a backend error rather than a fault with your account. Starting a new conversation sometimes works because a stuck thread can carry the failure with it.
One model fails while others work
Models are served separately. When one is degraded, switching to a different model in the picker often works immediately.
The API and the web app fail independently
Developers can be down while chat users are fine, and the reverse. They are separate services on the status page.
