There was a massive failure in the operation of ChatGPT worldwide.

      In Russia, the USA, Germany, the Netherlands, and Kazakhstan, there was a massive failure in the operation of ChatGPT. The peak of complaints occurred at 17:50, when their number exceeded 1,100. This follows data from the outage detector. In total, almost 4,000 Russians complained about the incorrect operation of the service within a day. Users report that they are facing issues logging into their personal accounts. It is also reported that the AI does not respond to questions and the chat history is not displayed in the application itself. The most failures occurred on Windows devices (40.9%), as well as on iOS (31.6%) and Android (14.2%). Users report that besides ChatGPT, there are also failures in the operation of Claude and Gemini. OpenAI stated that problems are indeed occurring. Users cannot load ChatGPT, Codex, and the API Platform. The company noted that they are currently investigating the causes of the failure. They also indicated that after updating or adding new accounts, users may experience issues with the ChatGPT Business service. "We have taken measures to mitigate the consequences and are monitoring the recovery process," OpenAI added. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence chatbot. As of February 2026, it is used by 900 million people weekly. The number of active users per month reaches one billion. The main share of traffic comes from the USA (about 17-19%) and India, where the number of weekly users exceeded 100 million.

      Earlier, a large-scale failure in the operation of ChatGPT was reported in January of last year. At that time, there were about 4,300 requests at the peak. The most complaints came from users in the UK. Malfunctions in the chatbot's operation were recorded in Germany, the USA, France, and other countries.
