OpenAI API not working? Try these fixes
- AI services often slow down or show 'at capacity' errors at peak times rather than going fully down.
- If the chat fails but the website loads, start a new conversation or try a different model.
- API users should check the provider's status page and retry with backoff; rate-limit errors (429) are not outages.
- Try another device or network, for example mobile data instead of Wi-Fi.
- Hard-refresh the page (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + R) or open it in a private window.
- Flush your DNS cache, or switch your DNS to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8.
- Turn off your VPN, ad blocker or other browser extensions and try again.
Questions
Is OpenAI API down right now?
We checked OpenAI API just now and it was up. The server answered with HTTP 403 in 83 ms.
Why is OpenAI API not working for me?
If our check shows OpenAI API is up, the problem is most likely on your side: your network, DNS, browser extensions, or an outdated app. Try the steps above. If it shows down, the problem is on OpenAI API's end and you'll need to wait for them to fix it.
How often do you check OpenAI API?
Every 10 minutes, around the clock. Failed checks are retried once before they're recorded, and we keep 30 days of history.
Where do your checks come from?
From a single server in a data center. A site can be down in one region and up in another, so an outage that only affects some countries may not show up here.
