OpenAI's ChatGPT has faced frequent partial disruptions throughout March 2026, with official status reports logging over a dozen incidents—including elevated conversation errors on March 11 and 17, file upload failures on March 3 and 11, and message-sending issues on March 5—all resolved within hours amid 99.91% monthly uptime. This string of degradations follows major global outages in early February that affected tens of thousands, heightening trader concerns over infrastructure strain from surging demand for advanced large language model features like ChatGPT 5.4 Pro and realtime APIs. Recent release notes highlight infrastructure improvements for long "Thinking" chats, yet persistent glitches underscore scaling challenges versus rivals like Anthropic's Claude, which saw its own early-March outages. Traders monitor quarter-end server loads and potential model rollouts as key risks before April.

This market will resolve to “Yes” if OpenAI's ChatGPT experiences any incident classified as 'Partial/Full Outage' as of the time it is marked as “Resolved” by the listed date (ET). Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”.
Only incidents listing ChatGPT under 'Affected components' will be considered. Incidents labeled as affecting 'APIs,' or 'Sora,' but not ChatGPT, will have no bearing on the resolution of this market.
Classifications of an incident while it is ongoing will have no bearing on the resolution of this market. Only classifications of events that are resolved will be considered.
Qualifying incidents include outages and other issues classified as 'Partial/Full Outage' when they are resolved, during this market's above-specified timeframe.
An incident resolved outside this market’s timeframe will only qualify if ongoing at this market’s resolution time, in which case the market will remain open until that incident is marked as “Resolved,” and resolution will be based on the first impact classification thereafter, regardless of subsequent revisions or corrections.
Revisions that upgrade an incident’s impact classification to 'Partial/Full Outage' will qualify if the incident was resolved and the revision is published within this market’s timeframe.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official system status information published by OpenAI on status.openai.com; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.OpenAI's ChatGPT has faced frequent partial disruptions throughout March 2026, with official status reports logging over a dozen incidents—including elevated conversation errors on March 11 and 17, file upload failures on March 3 and 11, and message-sending issues on March 5—all resolved within hours amid 99.91% monthly uptime.
