How to read this calendar
Dates use New York time (America/New_York). Green means no issues observed with sufficient monitoring coverage; it does not guarantee uninterrupted uptime. Pink includes official incidents, repeated website failures, or corroborated user reports. Gray days are unknown. Activity estimates alone do not turn a day pink. Today’s result can change.
OpenAI API website uptime and response time
Automated access restricted HTTP 403. Last checked 2026-11-08 15:39:36 UTC.
Checked address: https://platform.openai.com/
DNS lookup: 2 ms · TCP connection: 2 ms · TLS handshake: 13 ms. Certificate expires 2027-02-01; trusted connection: yes.

Median response time
Unknown
95th percentile response time
0 failed checks; 24 restricted checks. Restricted checks are excluded from the success rate. Lines connect recorded samples across gaps; availability between checks is unknown. Response time measures receipt of HTTP headers, not full page load. Checks run from one US monitoring server and do not verify sign-in, API, or app features. These sampled results are separate from down reports and estimated activity.
Evidence behind the status
Provider reports operational. Mapped components are operational in the latest status update; individual experiences can vary.
Website checks and estimated activity have independent update times. Refer to each section for its latest observation.
These measurements describe different things. A reachable homepage can coexist with login or API failures. Missing evidence stays unknown.

Recovery tracker
No recent recovery can be established from available evidence.
0 consecutive successful checks within the last 30 minutes. These checks measure the public website; they cannot establish recovery of every feature.
Slowdown detection
More successful checks are needed to establish a response-time baseline.
Recent median: unknown · Earlier median: unknown. Flags require at least 3 recent and 5 earlier checks, more than twice the baseline, and at least 500 ms extra latency. Slowness alone does not identify server load as the cause.

Emerging problem patterns can persist after an incident and do not measure report counts or prove an outage.
Is it down in your region?
Run one public website check from a community probe. Results describe that probe, not every user in a country.
Results are reused for 15 minutes. Shared free allowance: up to 60 tests per hour. A successful website check does not verify authenticated app or API functions.
Infrastructure incident context
Check whether broader platform incidents coincide with the problem you are seeing. These providers are context, not verified dependencies of OpenAI API.

About OpenAI API status on Iszdown
The OpenAI API provides developer access to OpenAI models. API error reports are tracked separately from the ChatGPT and Codex applications.
This page combines the available OpenAI API report activity, official product status, public website measurements, and daily history. Each measurement has its own observation time. A search spike alone does not confirm downtime, and a reachable website does not establish that sign-in or every product feature works.
14 product-matched official components are listed above. Latest public website measurement: 2026-11-08T15:39:36.000Z.

What to check when OpenAI API is not working
These are troubleshooting suggestions, not a list of currently reported problems.
API errors or timeouts
Record the endpoint, model, HTTP status, request time, and request ID when available. Never include API keys or private prompts in a public report.
Rate limits or slow responses
Separate HTTP 429 responses from server errors and timeouts. Check account limits and retry guidance before treating one failed request as a platform outage.
Website troubleshooting guide · Sign-in problems · API errors and timeouts
Include the time, affected feature, and error message when contacting official support. Keep passwords, payment information, session cookies, and access tokens private.

Frequently asked questions about OpenAI API
Is OpenAI API down right now?
Provider reports operational. Mapped components are operational in the latest status update; individual experiences can vary. This page was assembled at 2026-11-08T15:49:24.000Z.
How many OpenAI API outage reports are there today?
The displayed rolling 24-hour window contains 0 recorded reports, from 2026-11-07T15:40:00.000Z to 2026-11-08T15:40:00.000Z. This is not a calendar-day total or a count of affected people. Estimated activity is shown separately as an estimate.
Why does OpenAI API show operational when it is not working for me?
An official operational status can coexist with a local network issue, account problem, or feature-specific incident. Compare the mapped components, recent incident updates, and regional diagnostic on this page. Automated website checks test public access, not your signed-in session or every OpenAI API feature.
When was OpenAI API status last updated?
The latest status observation was 2026-11-08T15:42:17.000Z. Only matched product components and incidents are shown. The assessment is recent.
Has OpenAI API had outages before?
The daily calendar links available incident evidence and retains daily monitoring summaries. Pink marks service issues, green requires sufficient observations with no issues observed, and gray means insufficient coverage. The collected history is incomplete and is not a lifetime outage count or a guarantee of uninterrupted uptime.
How do I follow OpenAI API or report a problem?
Use “Watch this service” to save OpenAI API in this browser’s watchlist, then return to compare its status with other saved services. Optional browser notifications can flag status changes while the watchlist page stays open and visible; background alerts are not sent. Use the problem-report button for an outage report; contact the provider through its official website for account, billing, or private support issues. Iszdown is independent and cannot resolve provider support tickets.
