Unofficial OpenAI Status Dashboard

Whenever I get abnormally slow results or high rates of errors from GPT-4, I used to go and check the official OpenAI status site. But mostly it would always show green when I was experiencing issues. So Eliot who I work with built this little utility - an unofficial OpenAI status dashboard. It's designed to answer the question of "is GPT slow for everyone right now or just for me" and "is GPT having elevated rates of errors for everyone right now or just for me" It's aimed at API users but may also be useful for ChatGPT errors/slowness, I'm not sure. Possible features we're thinking…

Unofficial OpenAI Status Dashboard launched on July 13, 2023 with 27 votes, #1,443 of 4,347 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

In plain words

The Unofficial OpenAI Status Dashboard helps API users determine whether GPT-4 slowness or errors are widespread or isolated to their own usage. Unlike OpenAI's official status page, which often shows green during actual outages, this tool provides real-time visibility into performance issues and error rates across the service. Built for developers and API users, it answers whether problems are affecting everyone or just individual users.

View OpenAI's current status and historical performance.

I've found myself checking the official OpenAI status dashboard when I'm experiencing either a slow model or model errors, but the status dashboard normally shows all green even when I'm experiencing API/Playground/ChatGPT issues. So the official status doesn't seem to capture non-catastrophic but still elevated rates of errors or slowness. This unofficial OpenAI status page fixes that. Compare current model performance with previous data. Colors reflect two day percentiles: lower values and greener shades indicate better performance. The number of tokens per second the model is generating. Indicates model speed. The response time for the OpenAI API's models call, indicating base latency…from openai-status.llm-utils.org

    I saw this [0] pretty cool thread by user revskill, and wanted a quicker way to search through it, but also to keep them all in one place so I can read them at my leisure whenever I get time. Right now is like 60 lines of Ruby using Nokogiri, but I will certainly look into it further down the line and improve the list. There's a cronjob checking the thread every 12 hours but I will eventually shut that down and it will become static after that. There are some really awesome blogs in there. I really recommend going through the list, it made my day. [0] "Could you share your personal blog…
