Worldwide – ChatGPT, the popular AI tool by OpenAI, has fully resumed operations after a significant global outage that affected users worldwide on Tuesday morning, June 10, 2025. The outage led to widespread access issues and errors, leaving many users unable to use the service for several hours.
Details of the Outage
The service disruption began early on Tuesday around 5:30 a.m., with a sharp spike in complaints reported by Downdetector, a platform that tracks outages. Nearly 2,000 reports were logged by users who experienced errors and difficulties accessing ChatGPT.
OpenAI immediately acknowledged the issue and launched an investigation into the cause. As engineers worked to resolve the problem, ChatGPT‘s performance remained inconsistent, with some users able to access the service intermittently throughout the day.
Recovery Efforts and Communication
By midday, OpenAI reported signs of recovery, with partial access restored. However, full recovery was expected to take a few more hours. In a post on social media platform X, OpenAI assured users that the root cause had been identified, and efforts were underway to fix the issue completely.
While most features were back online by the early hours of June 11, voice mode was still experiencing some difficulties due to increased error rates.
Impact of the Outage on Users
The ChatGPT outage highlighted how critical the tool has become for both workplace and academic use. HR Dive reported a doubling of workplace usage over the past year, showing just how important ChatGPT is for many professionals. Additionally, a Pew Research survey found that over 25% of U.S. teenagers now rely on ChatGPT for academic help, up from just 12% in 2023.
This significant increase in use has made such outages even more impactful for a wide range of people, from students to business professionals.
The Bigger Picture: A Growing Issue
This ChatGPT outage adds to the growing list of digital platform disruptions in 2025, including issues faced by services like Zoom and X. The interruptions have raised concerns about the reliability of technologies that businesses and individuals depend on for productivity.
Conclusion
ChatGPT‘s global outage recovery was a reminder of the growing reliance on AI tools in daily life. While the service is now fully restored, the disruption underscores the need for better digital platform reliability in the future.
OpenAI has made clear that it remains committed to improving the user experience and ensuring that such outages are minimized going forward.
