What to do when ChatGPT is down
- Confirm it's actually ChatGPT (badge + official page), not your own integration.
- If you build on ChatGPT, fail gracefully — show a clear message, retry with backoff, and don't hammer it.
- Subscribe to OpenAI's status updates so you hear about incidents early.
- Monitor your own app so you know the moment a ChatGPT outage starts breaking your users' experience.
ChatGPT is a dependency. Monitor what depends on it.
When ChatGPT has an outage, your app inherits it — and you usually find out from angry users. Nurbak Watch checks your endpoints every 60 seconds from multiple regions and alerts you on Slack, email or WhatsApp the moment your app starts failing, whether the cause is ChatGPT or you.
