See OpenAI in your Pingoru dashboard

Monitor OpenAI alongside every other service your stack depends on — same alerts, same timeline, same calendar — all in one place.

Every status page, one dashboard

Add OpenAI to your Pingoru monitors and it sits next to AWS, Stripe, GitHub, and every other vendor in your stack — a single dashboard for the live status of every cloud and SaaS provider you depend on. One subscription, one inbox, every incident.

Incident timeline, this provider or all of them

Every OpenAI incident — when it started, when it resolved, which services were affected, how bad it was, how long it lasted — laid out in one feed you can scan in 30 seconds. Filter to just OpenAI or see every provider at once.

Maintenance calendar

Scheduled OpenAI maintenance windows land in the same calendar as every other vendor you depend on — see what's running now, what's coming up, and a calendar view. Plan around your vendors instead of being caught out by them.

Every OpenAI status change, one inbox

Pingoru watches OpenAI's official status page every 5 minutes and delivers incident, resolution, and maintenance events to your email, Slack, Discord, Teams, or webhook.

Only alert on the services you use

OpenAI reports on 30 services. Subscribe to the ones you actually use — everything else stays silent.

Email + Slack + Discord + Teams

Signed webhooks on every plan. Route OpenAI alerts wherever your team already lives — no per-integration billing, no tier-gating the channels that matter.

Maintenance, not surprises

Upcoming OpenAI maintenance windows appear in your maintenance calendar days in advance. Plan deploys and rollouts around them instead of finding out during an incident.

Fine-grained alert control

Per-monitor switches for opened, updated, resolved, and maintenance events. Silence the noisy OpenAI services without silencing the monitor entirely.

Invite your team

Premium includes 10 team seats. Everyone watching OpenAI from the same account, with per-user notification preferences for any monitor.

Get notified on OpenAI status changes

Pingoru watches OpenAI's official status page and sends your team instant alerts when incidents open, change severity, or resolve. Route notifications to email, Slack, Discord, or a webhook — wherever your team already lives.

Monitor OpenAI along with everything else

Frequently asked questions

What is OpenAI's uptime?
Over the last 90 days, OpenAI reported 100.00% uptime on its official status page. That figure is calculated from the public incident timeline at https://status.openai.com — each minute of degraded, partial-outage, or major-outage status counts against the total. Sign up to Pingoru free to see OpenAI's uptime history rolling forward in real time.
Has OpenAI had outages in 2026?
Yes — OpenAI has had 50 incidents reported on its official status page so far in 2026. The full timeline (start times, durations, components affected) is shown above on this page. Pingoru re-checks the status page every 5 minutes so the count stays current.
When was the last OpenAI outage?
The most recent OpenAI incident was "Users may experience elevated error rate for gpt-4o-mini in the API", which started on April 29, 2026 and was resolved on April 29, 2026. Pingoru captured this directly from https://status.openai.com. See the full incident card above for affected components and the update timeline.
How often does OpenAI have outages?
Based on the last 90 days, OpenAI averages 16.7 reported incidents per month on its official status page. Pingoru tracks each one with start time, duration, severity, and affected components — so you can see the pattern at a glance instead of digging through the vendor's archive.
Where is OpenAI's status page?
OpenAI's official status page is https://status.openai.com. Pingoru polls it every 5 minutes and renders the same data here, alongside every other cloud or SaaS provider you depend on — so you can spot multi-vendor incidents (e.g. AWS + Stripe + Cloudflare degrading at the same minute) without flipping between tabs.
Is OpenAI down right now?
OpenAI is up. Pingoru checks the official status page every 5 minutes and flips this headline the moment OpenAI reports a change. Current status is based on 30 tracked services.
How does Pingoru know if OpenAI is down?
We read https://status.openai.com directly, using OpenAI's own status page. If the vendor reports an incident, you see it within one check cycle — not after someone manually marks the page as down.
Where can I get notified when OpenAI has an outage?
Create a free Pingoru account and add OpenAI as a monitor. You can filter to specific services, pick severity thresholds, and route alerts via email, Slack, Discord, or a webhook.
OpenAI's status page says the service is up, but I'm having issues — what's wrong?
Three common reasons: • A real OpenAI incident that hasn't been acknowledged on their public status page yet — vendor status pages are updated manually and typically lag the first customer reports by 10–30 minutes. • A regional or account-scoped issue affecting a subset of customers — these rarely trigger a global status-page change. • A local problem: ISP / DNS / your own software. Try reproducing from a mobile data connection and from a different network to isolate. If you suspect a real OpenAI issue that isn't reflected yet, contact their support to escalate. Subscribing here means you get the alert the moment they do post an update.
Where does Pingoru get the official OpenAI status?
We use OpenAI's own status page at https://status.openai.com. Nothing is read in a way the vendor hasn't explicitly made public — we use the same data their own dashboard uses. So our data is as accurate as what you'd see loading the status page yourself, but rolled into one dashboard alongside every other service you depend on.
What does "Up" mean?
All tracked OpenAI components are reporting operational. No incidents are currently affecting service.

Stop finding out from your users.

We watch OpenAI's official status page every 5 minutes. The moment they report an incident, you get an email — often before the outage is widely noticed.
