ChatGPT

ChatGPT is experiencing a major outage, and users are unable to sign in, create accounts, or load chats, including previous conversations.

The outage started at approximately 8 PM ET on Wednesday, August 19, and is affecting users worldwide, including those in the US and Europe.

If you are affected, ChatGPT will get stuck at loading animations for the sidebar, and you won't be able to send messages due to "too many concurrent requests" errors. New signups and logins on chatgpt.com are also failing.
