OpenAI's ChatGPT, API, DALL-E, and Sora hit by major outage on May 29
ChatGPT, API, DALL-E, and Sora all down simultaneously — no official fix yet.
OpenAI's entire service ecosystem went dark on May 29, with user reports flooding in across multiple platforms. The outage hit ChatGPT (both web and app), the developer API, DALL-E, Codex, Sora, and even the login system — effectively paralyzing both consumer and enterprise users. The status.openai.com page currently shows a red alert, logging problems across all listed services: API, ChatGPT, Codex, DALL-E, Sora, app, web browser, and login. No official statement from OpenAI on the cause or estimated restoration time has been released yet.
This is a developing story. Users experiencing issues are directed to report their problem category on the OpenAI status page. The simultaneous failure of such a wide range of services — from image generation (DALL-E, Sora) to code assistance (Codex) to core conversation (ChatGPT) — suggests a backend infrastructure issue rather than a simple scaling problem. Enterprise customers relying on the API for production applications are particularly affected. We will update as OpenAI responds.
- Outage affects ChatGPT, API, DALL-E, Codex, Sora, login system simultaneously on May 29.
