Chatgpt Down: Thousands Of Users Unable To Access OpenAI App globally Due To Cloudflare Outage

Thousand of users around the world are unable to access OpenAI's ChatGPT today. The popular AI chatbot is down because of a massive internet problem caused by a company called Cloudflare. OpenAI has said

on its website that there is a problem with ChatGPT and other platforms and they are looking into it right now. But all signs point to the Cloudflare crash being the main reason.

ChatGPT Down

People trying to use ChatGPT are getting very confusing messages, especially this one: "Please unblock challenges.cloudflare.com to proceed." What is this? This message is actually part of Cloudflare's security system. It usually pops up to check if you are a human, not a computer bot.The Problem: Because Cloudflare's main network is having a big outage, this security check itself has broken down. Since ChatGPT uses Cloudflare to deliver its service, all users are getting blocked out.

OpenAI is Checking

OpenAI has put out a notice saying their services, including ChatGPT, are not working properly. They are actively trying to fix the issue. Users can expect problems to continue until Cloudflare completely fixes its network issues globally.Cloudflare is a company behind many websites’ backend. It helps with delivering content faster, protecting against attacks, and keeping websites up during heavy usage. In a statement, the tech giant acknowledged that services were recovering but warned users that error-rates may remain above normal for some time.
