OpenAI’s ChatGPT faced a widespread global outage on June 10, 2025, affecting users across India, the US, UK, and Europe. Thousands experienced error messages like “A network error occurred” or “Hmm… something seems to have gone wrong” when attempting to interact with the AI.
Symptoms: Errors, Lag & Login Issues On ChatGPT
According to Downdetector and outage reports, error rates climbed sharply around 12:45 PM IST (05:15 UTC). In India, 82% of issues involved ChatGPT’s core features and 14% affected the mobile app. Across the US and UK, over 1,350 users reported similar issues, including session timeouts and unresponsive behavior.
What OpenAI—Plus Plus Sora
OpenAI officially acknowledged the disruption on its Status Page, noting “elevated error rates and latency” across ChatGPT, Sora, and related APIs. This partial outage appears similar to past incidents in April and late 2024, attributed to high demand or internal glitches.
Global User Impact
Users from every continent experienced the disruption: students couldn’t complete assignments, developers faced stalled code generation, and content creators lost critical writing work. On social media, X, Reddit, and other platforms buzzed with memes mocking ChatGPT’s “coffee break” error.
What You Can Do Right Now
- Check the status on OpenAI’s official page for updates.
- Refresh and retry after a few minutes—some users reported intermittent access.
- Use backup tools, like Google’s Gemini or Anthropic’s Claude, if you rely on uninterrupted service.
While the outage continues, OpenAI engineers are working to restore full functionality.
