I am a paying chatgpt and codex user and I am logged in on multiple devices and suddenly https://chatgpt.com/ has started returning a raw 404 status page with no HTML for me in the browsers on all devices. When I open an incognito tab the website loads fine with no user logged in. Codex in VS code also has issues now:

> unexpected status 404 Not Found: Unknown error, url: https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/responses, cf-ray: ...

Glad to see this thread I thought my account may need some special fix

pj_mukh•about 1 hour ago

YES! I swear I thought something malicious was happening, especially because Claude went down at the same time. https://status.openai.com was totally unhelpful, making me more suspicious.

My Pro logged in account works, but my other Plus logged in account returns 404.

azurehecate•about 2 hours ago

same here

djinn80•about 2 hours ago

Same, the app gives 404 if you are logged in or try to login.

How many millions are being lost from this slip up? Now they can't use Codex to fix the problem and all the devs are in Tahiti on vacation. Oh no!

Will they go old school and manually fix it or use Claude?

Oh the modern day issues we have to deal with...

They'd be very dumb to let internal engineers use exactly the same infrastructure as public users, regardless of possible benefits of dogfooding, precisely for this reason. I'm sure they must have thought about it before.

That's however something an AI would not implement without being specifically asked.

"Use the best of the best of the best practices or three cute little kittens will die" only brings you so far.

This is true for all LLMs today, none of them work 100% autonomously, somewhere along the chain one human made at least one decision that lead to what the agent end up working on.

Funnily enough, this happened many times during AWS us-east-1 outages, during the incident internal tools were also down globally because they relied on us-east-1.

Claude is down too lol: https://status.claude.com

schnebbau•about 2 hours ago

WE'RE BACK BABY! Work can now resume.

schnebbau•about 2 hours ago

I think the most concerning thing we discovered here is when the agents go down, work completely stops.

This is just the 2020's version of "StackOverfow is down"

Good time to have a backup GLM 5.3 plan.

Bluestein•about 2 hours ago

Actually ... they are apparently having issues. Hard to tell: Their "over capacity/peak hours" message is hard to distinguish from other brokenness - but it has been pretty consistent.-

CuriouslyC•about 2 hours ago

I'm having no issues, I think in their case it's just load from people falling back from the broad frontier failure.

Stop making the same comment over and over.

Might wanna have some coffee then browse my comment history.

Good effing luck to all the vibe coders out there

qingcharles•about 1 hour ago

GPT, Claude and Grok are all down this morning. Gonna have to hand-write code like a straight savage :(

dyauspitr•about 1 hour ago

Someone should update that “compiling” xkcd.

Typing after a long break—I can really feel how much slower I've gotten and how much my skills have degraded

maxverse•about 1 hour ago

What tasks were you doing?

jdw64•about 1 hour ago

As always, I was working on modifying a CRUD program. It's been a while since I read through the documentation carefully and worked on it, so it feels refreshing.

levkk•about 2 hours ago

Oh no! Anyway...

convivialdingo•about 2 hours ago

And now Claude is down - API Error 529 Overloaded

https://status.claude.com

qingcharles•about 1 hour ago

Tried to fall back to Grok and got "Model provider is overloaded."

I'm now on Muse Spark. God help us all.

nateb2022•about 2 hours ago

Claude went down earlier today

couscouspie•about 1 hour ago

Now, Claude is down. I wouldn't be surprised if it was because we people who have both tried offloading their work to it.

How im gonna do my job now? Wtf

trvz•about 2 hours ago

Simply use GLM 5.3 Flash on the Strix Halo you've purchased just for this situation.

menno-sh•about 2 hours ago

Reminds me of the /r/flashlight user (and therefore flashlight enthusiast) who got a power outage in a grocery store [1]. There's probably a guy with decent on-site compute having a great day right now.
