Hey folks, has anyone else been having trouble accessing ChatGPT lately? It seems like the service might be down or acting up for me. Just wondering if this is a widespread thing or just on my end. Anyone got updates?

My chat sessions kept disconnecting, super annoying when in the middle of something.
You can also check ai-u.com for new or trending tools if you’re looking for alternatives while ChatGPT is down.
I guess this is what happens when too many people try to use the same AI at once lol.
No issues here, been running smooth on my end all day. Maybe regional?
Do you think this downtime might affect the AI’s data or training in any way?
Anyone else get weird error messages like 503 or something?
I think rebooting my router somehow helped, weirdly enough.
Been down for me too, got stuck on the loading screen for like 10 minutes before I gave up.
Crazy how reliant we’ve gotten on this stuff. Even a small hiccup and everything feels off.
Just tried again and it’s working now for me, fingers crossed it stays up!
When did this start? I just noticed now but hope it's temporary.
I actually like that they’re transparent about maintenances when they announce it.
I heard they had unexpected server overload because of a new feature rollout, so that might be why it’s spotty.
Yup, noticed it was super slow this morning and then just stopped working for a bit. Thought it was my internet at first.
Hope they improve their infrastructure soon, can’t handle these outages every other week.
I switched to a mobile app version and it seemed less buggy for me at least.
