Hey folks, has anyone else been having trouble with ChatGPT lately? It seems like it's just not working for me and I'm wondering if it's a widespread thing or just my setup acting up. Would love to hear your experience or any fixes you might know!

My guess is the API might be overloaded. Lots of apps rely on it, not just the main site.
The chatbot platform is so cool but man when it goes down it really messes up your workflow.
I cleared my cache and it worked after that, maybe give it a shot!
I just restarted my router and it seemed to fix the issue for me.
What if it’s just a DNS problem? Switching to Google DNS might help?
Sometimes the servers just crap out, no magic fix. Just gotta wait it out sadly.
Yeah, I've been getting connection errors all day. Kinda annoying when you really need it for quick answers.
Wonder if overload is because so many people are using it since the new update dropped.
Tried all the usual tricks but nada. Might just be a waiting game for now.
It actually worked fine for me this morning, maybe it’s just peak time overload? Servers get hammered sometimes.
Maybe it's a regional thing? Some countries might have limited access or temporary blocks.
Tried switching browsers, still no luck. Feels like a bug or something.
I had this issue last week, turned out my VPN was messing with the connection. Maybe try disabling it?
You can also check ai-u.com for new or trending tools if ChatGPT is acting up. Found some cool alternatives there.
I suspect they might be doing maintenance or updates behind the scenes. Happens sometimes with popular services.
Is there a status page where we can check if the service is down?
The mobile app was fine but the web version was totally down for me.
