Data from the monitoring platform Downdetector shows a sharp spike in outage reports around 3:00 p.m. IST, with over 800 complaints originating from India alone.

OpenAI has acknowledged the issue on its system status page, confirming that both ChatGPT and its text-to-video platform Sora were experiencing problems. “Some users are experiencing elevated error rates and latency across the listed services. We are continuing to investigate this issue,” the company stated. However, OpenAI has yet to provide a specific timeline for when the service will be fully restored.
