Is ChatGPT down right now?
We read OpenAI’s official status feed every 5 minutes. The verdict at the top shows whether OpenAI currently reports ChatGPT and the API as operational or degraded.
Why is ChatGPT showing "Something went wrong" or "Capacity reached"?
During traffic peaks, OpenAI servers may trigger temporary rate limiting or Cloudflare verification loops. Logging out, clearing site cookies, or using the native mobile app often restores access.
What are the best alternatives if ChatGPT is unavailable?
Good alternatives are Claude, Google Gemini, Grok or Perplexity. Check their status here before switching.
