ChatGPT is back following global outage — here's what happened
ChatGPT suffered an unexpected outage on June 10, 2025
www.tomsguide.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent coverage up to now:
- There have been multiple notable outages of ChatGPT over the past year, with OpenAI acknowledging incidents on their status page and various outlets reporting on recovery progress as services came back online.[1][2]
- Examples include outages in April 2026 that affected ChatGPT, Codex, and API platform with OpenAI posting that they were monitoring the recovery and applying fixes as reports declined.[1]
- Similar disruptions occurred in prior years (e.g., June 2025 and March/April 2025) with status updates indicating partial or continuing recovery as capacity was restored and services returned to baseline levels.[2][3][4]
- If you’re currently unable to access ChatGPT, the best immediate steps are to check OpenAI’s official status page or X account for the latest incident updates, and consider trying again after a short delay or using alternative tools while the outage is resolved.[2][1]
Would you like me to pull the very latest post-Outage status from OpenAI or provide a quick checklist to stay productive during outages? I can also set up a lightweight monitoring guide (e.g., which pages to watch and how to verify status) if you’re frequently affected.
