ChatGPT Work Down: OpenAI Confirms Outage, No Fix Yet

OpenAI has confirmed a partial outage affecting ChatGPT's Work mode, specifically for Plus subscribers. Over 2,000 user reports were logged by 9:01 a.m. PT on a recent date. The status page initially showed a latency warning, which then escalated to an error warning about 17 minutes later. OpenAI stated that Plus users are particularly impacted, with Work mode being unavailable. Later updates indicated the issue also affected users across multiple subscription plans who could not start or continue tasks in ChatGPT Work. OpenAI acknowledged the errors and is working on a solution, but no restore time has been provided. Users currently working in ChatGPT Work are advised to copy their drafts into local storage to avoid losing their work. This is important for anyone relying on these services for their daily tasks.
