OpenAI’s ChatGPT ran into a major service disruption today, leaving thousands of users worldwide unable to use the platform properly. Outage-tracking site Downdetector recorded complaint numbers climbing rapidly, jumping from roughly 2,000 to 3,000 reports within a short window.
Key Highlights
- Downdetector complaints for ChatGPT surged from 2,000 to 3,000 globally, with India crossing 1,000 reports
- Most issues (78–80%) involved core app functionality, followed by mobile app and API/Codex problems
- OpenAI has acknowledged the issue on its status page but hasn’t issued a full public statement
What's Causing the ChatGPT Outage
A breakdown of the global complaints showed the bulk of the trouble, about 80 percent, tied to core app functionality. Mobile users weren’t spared either, with 9 percent of reports coming from the Android and iOS apps, while 7 percent pointed to problems with ChatGPT’s coding tool, Codex.
How India Was Affected
The situation looked similar within India, where complaints surged past the 1,300 mark and kept climbing. Indian users reported comparable proportions: about 80 percent citing general functionality issues, 9 percent flagging app-specific problems, and the remaining 7 percent linked to API errors.
Complaint Breakdown
| Issue Type | Global Share | India Share |
|---|---|---|
| Core app functionality | ~80% | ~80% |
| Mobile app (Android/iOS) | 9% | 9% |
| API / Codex | 7% | 7% |
OpenAI's Response
OpenAI’s status page confirmed the outage, stating, “We’re currently experiencing issues,” with problems listed across APIs, ChatGPT, and Codex. The company added, “We have applied the mitigation and are monitoring the recovery.”
This isn’t the first rough patch for ChatGPT recently. A previous outage weeks ago saw the chatbot still able to handle text-based questions while its Codex and image-generation tools failed outright.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the OpenAI server down today?
Yes. On July 25, 2026, OpenAI's status page confirmed elevated error rates across ChatGPT, the API, and Codex, with the company stating it applied a mitigation and was monitoring recovery.
Why is ChatGPT not working today?
ChatGPT stopped responding for many users due to a technical disruption affecting core app functionality. Downdetector reports jumped from about 2,000 to 3,000 globally, with over 1,000 reports from India alone.
Why is my OpenAI account not working?
Most affected users reported general functionality issues rather than login problems specifically. About 80 percent of complaints involved core app use, while smaller shares involved the mobile apps and Codex.
Is ChatGPT down for everyone or just me?
The outage was widespread, not isolated to individual users. Downdetector recorded thousands of reports globally, including more than 1,000 in India, indicating a broad service disruption rather than a device-specific issue.
