ChatGPT is experiencing a major outage, and users are unable to load chats, including previous conversations.

The outage started at approximately 5 AM ET and is affecting users worldwide, including those in the US and Europe.

If you are affected, ChatGPT will get stuck at animations for the sidebar, and you won't be able to send messages due to "too many concurrent requests" errors. This outage also affects OpenAI's coding platform, Codex. Thankfully, OpenAI is aware of these issues and has already acknowledged them on the status page.

"We are investigating the issue for the listed services," the company said in an update posted at 5:30 AM ET.

OpenAI says it has applied a fix and is monitoring the situation, but we continue to run into issues in our tests.

The outage also affects the OpenAI API, with as many as 12 API endpoints listed as having issues on the company's status page.

This is a developing story.
