ChatGPT, OpenAI’s viral chatbot, is currently down and citing “high error rates” for the tool’s more than 100 million weekly active users.

The chatbot began experiencing the outage just before 9 a.m. ET, and has continued for the past hour. The outage also affects OpenAI’s API services which are used by more than two million developers. ChatGPT users are being told that “ChatGPT is at capacity right now.”

“We’ve identified an issue resulting in high error rates across the API and ChatGPT, and we are working on remediation,” OpenAI shared in a status report at 9:50 a.m. ET.
