Frequently Asked Questions
Is OpenAI down right now?

Check the live status above. We send a request to the OpenAI API every 1 minute and display real-time availability, latency, and uptime history.

How do I check if the OpenAI API is working?

LLMStatus probes api.openai.com directly every 1 minute — that measurement decides the status. We also read status.openai.com, but only outages OpenAI reports on API components count; ChatGPT-only incidents are shown as context, not API downtime.

Why is OpenAI slow right now?

Check the latency chart above. If latency is elevated but the status is "Operational", OpenAI may be experiencing high load. Latency spikes often occur during peak usage hours or after new model launches.

How often does OpenAI go down?

Check the uptime percentages above for 24-hour, 7-day, and 30-day windows. We track every check and store 90 days of historical uptime data.

Is there an RSS feed for OpenAI outages?

Yes. Subscribe to llmstatus.net/api/rss in any RSS reader to receive every new OpenAI incident — plus incidents for every other monitored LLM API — as it happens. Each item links to a permanent incident page with status, duration, and timestamps.
