Our checks
Every 5 minutes two independent servers request the OpenAI API home page (platform.openai.com) without signing in. We call it an outage only when both fail to get any answer.
| Checkpoint | Result | Response time | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|
| Falkenstein, Germany | Answered (HTTP 403) | 95 ms | just now |
| Nuremberg, Germany | Answered (HTTP 403) | 62 ms | just now |
Some sites answer automated checks with a block page (HTTP 403) or a rate limit (HTTP 429); that still means the site is online.

What to do if OpenAI API is not working
- Check the official status page and the time of the last update.
- Test another website. If nothing loads, the problem is your connection.
- Open the service in a private window and sign in again: AI chat apps often fail on an expired session.
- Try the mobile app if the website fails, or the website if the app does.
- Large file uploads and long conversations fail first during heavy load; try a short prompt.
