TL;DR

Both OpenAI and Poe reported 0% uptime during the monitoring week
No incidents or downtime minutes were recorded for either provider
Response time data was unavailable for comparative analysis
Both providers showed identical reliability metrics across all measured parameters

Uptime This Week

Both OpenAI and Poe reported 0% uptime during the monitoring period of April 20, 2026. This unusual result—combined with zero recorded incidents and zero downtime minutes—suggests either a measurement anomaly, monitoring configuration issue, or data collection gap rather than actual service outages. Further investigation into the monitoring setup is warranted before drawing conclusions about actual reliability.

Response Time

Response time data not available for this period.

Response time data was unavailable for both OpenAI and Poe during this monitoring period, preventing comparative analysis of latency performance. Without these metrics, assessment of service responsiveness cannot be completed.

Incidents & Downtime

Neither provider recorded any incidents or downtime minutes during the week of April 20, 2026. However, the 0% uptime figure contradicts the absence of logged incidents, indicating a potential data collection inconsistency that should be investigated before relying on these metrics for reliability assessment.

Historical Context

AI Tools category providers have historically demonstrated variable reliability due to the computational intensity of serving large language models and the operational complexity of managing global inference infrastructure. Consistent monitoring over extended periods is essential for identifying seasonal patterns and infrastructure capacity constraints.

Which Should You Choose?

The data from this monitoring period is insufficient for making a reliable provider recommendation. The contradictory metrics (0% uptime with zero incidents) suggest measurement issues. Conduct extended monitoring over multiple weeks and verify that response time data collection is functioning before selecting between these providers based on reliability.

About This Data
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

Frequently Asked Questions

Which provider is more reliable—OpenAI or Poe?

Based on Uptrue's monitoring data from April 20–26, 2026, both providers reported identical metrics: 0% uptime with zero recorded incidents. These contradictory results indicate a data collection issue rather than actual comparative reliability data. Extended monitoring is needed for meaningful comparison.

How often does OpenAI or Poe go down?

During the monitoring week, neither provider logged any incidents or downtime minutes according to Uptrue's data. However, the 0% uptime reading suggests measurement inconsistencies. Historical industry data indicates both providers experience occasional outages, but this specific week's data is inconclusive.

How is this reliability data collected?

All data presented in this report comes from Uptrue's independent uptime monitoring systems, which continuously probe provider endpoints and measure availability and response times. The monitoring period was April 20–26, 2026. Gaps in response time data and contradictory uptime figures suggest configuration or data collection issues in this particular monitoring cycle.
