  • Zero incidents were formally recorded despite 0% uptime readings
  • Complete monitoring failure or simultaneous total outages suggests investigation needed

Uptime This Week

Character.AI 0.00% ChatGPT 0.00% HTTP checks every 5 min · 7-day period · Uptrue independent monitoring

Both Character.AI and ChatGPT reported identical 0% uptime figures for this period. This result is inconsistent with the zero incidents recorded and warrants investigation into whether the monitoring infrastructure captured data correctly or whether both services experienced genuine total unavailability.

Response Time

Response time data not available for this period.

Response time data was unavailable for both providers during this monitoring period, preventing assessment of latency or performance characteristics.

Incidents & Downtime

Character.AI No incidents ChatGPT No incidents Incident = 2+ consecutive failed checks · 7-day window

No incidents were formally logged for either provider despite the 0% uptime readings. This discrepancy between the uptime metric and incident count indicates potential monitoring system issues that should be reviewed before drawing conclusions about actual service reliability.
