ChatGPT Down: OpenAI Services Face APAC Outage

OpenAI is currently experiencing a disruption impacting users in the APAC region. Customers may face increased errors across several services, including ChatGPT, Work, image generation, file upload, Voice, and Codex Cloud. OpenAI's official status page confirms the issue is under investigation. What's interesting is this disruption affects multiple services simultaneously. It suggests the problem might be tied to regional backend infrastructure. This isn't an isolated incident; OpenAI's status history shows a pattern of similar disruptions in recent months. Just yesterday, there were separate incidents involving elevated errors in ChatGPT and Codex. For affected users, this means they cannot start new conversations, generate images, upload files, or use voice mode. OpenAI has not detailed the root cause or provided an estimated time for resolution. Users should check status.openai.com for updates. This impacts many who rely on these tools for daily tasks.
