What this page is not
This page is not a live checker. It does not test OpenAI for you, and the table above is a snapshot from 2026-11-08, so it may already be out of date. Vendors can be slow to acknowledge an outage, and a problem on your network or account will never show on a status page. For the current state, open the official page linked above.
