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, powering millions of daily interactions via its large language model, faces ongoing scaling challenges amid explosive growth to over 900 million weekly active users announced in late February 2026. Trader sentiment hinges on a fresh 57-minute outage on April 10—detected just yesterday—sparking user complaints of server errors and streaming failures on web and app platforms, despite the official status page claiming 99.85% uptime over 30 days with no listed incidents. This follows February's multi-day disruptions affecting thousands, underscoring persistent high-demand strains even post-GPT-5.3 updates and enterprise expansions. No major reliability fixes announced; watch for peak usage spikes or unannounced infrastructure upgrades as key catalysts.
