OpenAI’s own status history reveals chaotic stretch of near-daily incidents this week alone, elevated error rates hit the platform Friday morning, with engineers applying a mitigation and monitoring recovery. Just a day earlier, users faced elevated error rates in ChatGPT itself, alongside disruptions to gpt-image-2 and Workspace Agent services, plus file upload and image generation failures.
Adding to the turmoil, this latest scare comes on the heels of a near 24-hour glitches just 2 days ago, as the AI giant facing elevated error rates across ChatGPT, Codex, and its APIs starting July 23.
As of the most recent independent checks, some monitors show the core ChatGPT web app itself responding normally — suggesting the damage may be contained to Codex and API-level services for now. But with OpenAI’s incident log reading like a weekly occurrence rather than a rare event, users are left asking: how long before the next outage hits?
OpenAI has not yet issued an official statement on today’s incident.
