ChatGPT experienced a major global outage on June 10, 2025, causing disruptions for users worldwide. OpenAI confirmed elevated error rates and latency across its services, including ChatGPT, the Sora text-to-video product, and its APIs. Users reported that prompts were either taking significantly longer to be answered or were met with an error message. The issue started around 3:00 AM Eastern Time, with reports on Downdetector steadily climbing as the morning progressed and the United States woke up. Downdetector indicated the problems were not restricted to the United States, with users in other countries reporting similar issues.
OpenAI stated that they had identified the root cause of the issue and were working on implementing a fix. According to the company's status page, the login services appeared to be functioning normally, but other services were experiencing partial outages. A separate entry for elevated error rates in Sora was also included on the status page. Initially, some users appeared to regain access around 6:00 AM ET, but reports of issues soon returned.
Later in the day, OpenAI reported that the fix was underway, with API calls in the process of recovering. However, the company also stated that full access to other affected services, including ChatGPT, could take "another few hours." While user reports on Down Detector initially dipped, it remained to be seen whether this signaled the outage ramping down or if further spikes would occur. OpenAI's service status later switched from red to yellow as the company reported that ChatGPT and API calls were slowly recovering, with Sora back to full operation.
