OpenAI’s ChatGPT service has faced repeated service degradations in early September 2026, with multiple incidents logged on its status page including a roughly two-hour global outage on September 3 affecting conversations, image generation, file uploads, Voice mode, and Codex components, followed by a three-hour-plus regional disruption in APAC the next day. These events align with OpenAI’s ongoing infrastructure scaling amid high user demand and preparations for the upcoming GPT-6 Astra large language model release, which has placed additional load on core systems. Historical patterns show dozens of similar incidents over the prior 90 days, though overall uptime remains above 99.6 percent, with most resolved within hours through targeted mitigations. Traders monitoring this market are watching for continued frequency tied to model launches, regional routing issues, or peak usage spikes rather than any single announced catalyst.

ChatGPT will be considered to have experienced a qualifying incident on the specified day if the OpenAI Status Page for ChatGPT (status.openai.com) displays that day’s status box as a shade of red indicating Partial/Full Outage once it is finalized. (green indicates "No incidents", yellow indicates "Degraded performance"). A day will be considered finalized once the following day’s status box is added on the Status Page.
Only incidents listing ChatGPT under 'Affected components' will be considered. Incidents labeled as affecting 'APIs,' 'Codex,' 'FedRamp,' or 'Ads Platform,' but not ChatGPT, will have no bearing on the resolution of this market.
This market will remain open until the specified day’s status box is finalized and all incidents that began during the specified date have been resolved. Revisions that change an incident’s impact classification to or from 'Partial/Full Outage' will be considered if the revision is published before the specified day’s status box is finalized or before all incidents that began during the specified date have been resolved.
This market will resolve once the specified day’s status box is finalized, provided no incident that began during the specified date is ongoing. In case of an ongoing incident the market will remain open until the incident is marked as “Resolved” and all relevant data has been released. If the incident in question is not resolved or all relevant data has not been released by the end of the seventh day after the specified date, this market will resolve based on the data available at that time.
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.
