During the week of April 20, 2026, Uptrue monitored both ChatGPT (chat.openai.com) and OpenAI's main domain (openai.com) across the AI Tools category. Both services reported 0% uptime according to independent monitoring, indicating widespread availability issues during this period. Response time data was unavailable for both providers.
- Both ChatGPT and OpenAI's main domain recorded 0% uptime during the monitoring week
- No successful response time measurements were captured for either service
- Zero incidents were formally logged, but 0% uptime indicates monitoring detected no successful connections
- All data sourced from Uptrue's independent, continuous monitoring infrastructure
Uptime This Week
Both providers achieved 0% uptime during the April 20–26 monitoring window, indicating that Uptrue's monitoring endpoints received no successful responses throughout the entire week. This metric reflects the actual availability experienced by external monitoring systems, which may differ from internal status pages. The identical uptime figure suggests either simultaneous infrastructure issues or a systematic monitoring condition affecting both services.
Response Time
Response time data not available for this period.
Response time data was unavailable for both ChatGPT and OpenAI during this period. When uptime is 0%, response time metrics cannot be meaningfully calculated, as no successful connections were established to measure latency.
Incidents & Downtime
Neither ChatGPT nor OpenAI logged formal incidents in their systems during this week, yet both registered 0% uptime with zero minutes of recorded downtime. This discrepancy indicates that the monitoring data reflects external connectivity or availability issues rather than acknowledged service incidents, suggesting the problems may have been edge-case, regional, or detection-layer specific.
Which Should You Choose?
Given the 0% uptime for both services during this monitoring window, neither can be recommended as reliably available during the April 20–26 period. For mission-critical use cases, implement fallback mechanisms or multi-provider strategies. Request detailed incident reports from both providers to understand whether the outage was global, regional, or specific to external monitoring pathways.
All uptime, response time, and incident data is collected by Uptrue's independent monitoring infrastructure. HTTP checks run every 5 minutes. An incident is recorded only after 2+ consecutive failed checks. Uptrue is not affiliated with any monitored service. For corrections: reports@uptrue.io
