More than 50,000 outages have been reported for ChatGPT on Downdetector.com after a surge in reports around 1:30 p.m EST.

The outage appeared to persist beyond 3:30 p.m. EST., with 3,463 new reports of outages.

A Forbes query given to ChatGPT at 3:40 p.m. EST produced no answer from the Chatbot, with a message reading “Internal Server Error” appearing instead.

OpenAI said in an update posted at 3:06 p.m. EST it was “continuing to work on a fix for this issue,” which was caused by an unnamed internet service provider.

Users on X, home to ChatGPT’s rival chatbot, Grok, complained about the outage, joking that they were back to using their own brains again.

Thursday’s outage is ChatGPT’s second of the month, according to TechCrunch, which noted a roughly six-hour outage occurred two weeks ago.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
