Limit or outage? How to tell
- Usage limit: only your account is affected, the message mentions a limit or allowance, and it usually says when you can continue.
- Outage: errors, timeouts or blank replies for many users at once, often with an incident on the official status page.

Frequently asked questions
Is ChatGPT down for everyone or just me?
If the status above is green, ChatGPT reports no incident; try clearing cache, signing out and in, or another network. If it's amber/red, the outage is on ChatGPT's side.
Is it a ChatGPT usage limit or an outage?
A usage limit is about your account: the app still works, but it tells you that you've used your allowance and usually shows when it resets. An outage is about the service: many people see errors, timeouts or blank replies at once, and the official status page usually reports an incident. If ChatGPT shows a limit message, see the ChatGPT usage limits page at https://www.minicrafts.ai/ai-limits/chatgpt/.
What should I do while ChatGPT is down?
Try Claude, Gemini or Perplexity for chat; for API apps, add a fallback provider.
How long do ChatGPT outages usually last?
Most incidents on public status pages are resolved within minutes to a few hours. Check the official incident updates for the latest ETA.
