Quick availability check of ChatGPT

📝Table of Contents

Here you can check the availability of “https://chat.openai.com/auth/login”, the official website with the login page.

Click on the button to start a functionality check of the site, which we will try to connect to and see if it loads correctly. If it does within a few seconds, the check is successful. Otherwise, the button will turn red, which may indicate a problem with ChatGPT.

Beware, it is possible that the site will load, but you will see information about service overload, for example. Even in this case, the check will be successful, even though the AI chat cannot be communicated with, and you need to wait until the service is available again.

What is ChatGPT and how to interact with it

ChatGPT is a chatbot that is based on artificial intelligence. All the communication you receive is therefore completely created by a computer. It is not artificial intelligence as such, but very complicated algorithms that learn from information available on the internet.

That’s why this chatbot is quite successful in answering a variety of very practical and factual questions, and many people use it for things like programming. Today, ChatGPT technology is already very robust and with each new version it resembles more and more a conversation with a real person. Even so, don’t rely on the answers, the chatbot still tends to make up information that it simply has no basis for, or it simply doesn’t know which source is true, so it picks one.

So always check and verify the information given. Despite the massive knowledge, these AIs should be taken with a grain of salt.

ChatGPT is completely free for general use and the link can be found below. Just register for free and start chatting.

The most common solutions to ChatGPT outages

Check your internet connection

ChatGPT may appear to be down when your internet connection is down. Check that your other sites and sites are working properly before moving on. If everything else works but ChatGPT does not, please report it at the top of this page.

Server overload or general outage

Probably the most common reason for a chatbot not working is that there are simply too many people using it at once. You’ll usually find this out right after trying to chat, when you’ll be told that the servers are overloaded and you just need to wait.

If you are using the paid version, you have priority in usage over users who are chatting for free. So this outage doesn’t usually happen to paying users.

If your page doesn’t load, it may be a bug that needs to wait to be fixed. You can tell if others are experiencing the error by the comments below the article, or by the number of reports at the top of the page. If the service is not working for you, you can also contribute by reporting a broken service.

Expired login

If you try to chat but immediately get a“Network Error” error, it may be a logout. The solution is to reload the page, or log out and log back in, and try again.

Turn off the VPN

ChatGPT is heavily used around the world, and OpenAI, the company that runs the chatbot, tries to filter out robotic queries. So, in practice, it can block queries that are directed from a VPN. If you’re using this service and ChatGPT isn’t working for you, try turning off the VPN, and try again.

Turn off the browser extension

Various add-ons and extensions can disable ChatGPT. Typically, these are extensions that change the HTML code of pages, such as ad blockers.

Check the official site for outages

OpenAI has its own outage page. While it is not 100% and mainly reflects outages that are already known about, it can still give a hint if there is an outage, server overload or something else that is causing the service to fail.
