Nevertheless, huge worldwide outages have taken place<\/span> just last week and<\/span> some minor instabilities were also reported<\/span>a few days ago.<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

The recent events can be summarized<\/span> as follows:<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n

1. Major Global Outage (November 18, 2025)<\/span><\/h2>\n

This was the most significant recent event. Huge failure at<\/span> Cloudflare (a company that deals with the powering and security of the internet) caused ChatGPT to be out of the reach of users, in which lead fail downtime chaining to also top platforms like X (Twitter), Spotify, and Canva.<\/span><\/p>\n

What happened:<\/span> <\/span><\/h3>\n

“500 Internal Server Errors” were shown to users worldwide, and some people could not log in.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cause:<\/span> <\/span><\/h3>\n

According to Cloudflare, the bug in their “Bot Management” system led to the configuration file getting too large, which caused the software that handles traffic to crash. It was not<\/span> a cyberattack.<\/span><\/p>\n

Duration:<\/span> <\/span><\/h3>\n

The actual core outage was around 3\u20134 hours before the services got back to normal.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

2. Recent Instability (November 25\u201326, 2025)<\/span><\/h2>\n

The period following the great outage witnessed in the early part<\/span> of this week smaller, scattered incidents:<\/span><\/p>\n

On Nov 26: <\/span><\/h3>\n

OpenAI announced “Elevated errors<\/span> for ChatGPT” which caused some users to be unable to delete conversations or log in. This issue has been resolved.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nov 25:<\/span> <\/span><\/h3>\n

Users from the EU, South America, and US East regions had been reporting an increase in error rates. This problem has also been resolved.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Summary of Status<\/span><\/h2>\n

Are they down now?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

No. Operational status is being<\/span> reported for all systems at the moment.<\/span><\/p>\n

What’s the reason<\/span> for these repetitions?<\/span> <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Cloudflare is ChatGPT’s security and traffic management partner. Whenever Cloudflare experiences a “problem,” it becomes a bottleneck, thus, although OpenAI’s servers may be working fine, users are still blocked access to ChatGPT.<\/span><\/p>\n

What to do next:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

If you<\/span> are facing an error message now, it is most probably a local cache issue related to these recent \u200b\u200d\u200b\u200c\u200d\u200b\u200d\u200c\u200b\u200d\u200b\u200c\u200d\u200b\u200d\u200cevents.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
