Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the official OpenAI status page?

The official OpenAI status page is at status.openai.com. It monitors GPT-4, GPT-3.5, DALL-E, Whisper, ChatGPT, the API, and all OpenAI services.

Does OpenAI status show model-specific issues?

Yes, OpenAI's status page shows status for different models (GPT-4, GPT-3.5-turbo). One model may experience issues while others work normally.

Why does OpenAI API fail when status shows 'Operational'?

OpenAI often rate-limits heavily during high demand. API errors with 429 status codes indicate rate limiting, not necessarily a platform outage. Check your usage limits.

Are ChatGPT and API status separate?

Yes, ChatGPT (consumer product) and the OpenAI API are separate systems. ChatGPT may be down while the API works, and vice versa.

Never rely only on official status pages

Official status pages can be slow to update during outages. Get independent monitoring with PerkyDash to catch issues before official announcements.
