If ChatGPT isn’t working for you
ChatGPT is OpenAI's chat assistant on the web, desktop and mobile apps, used for writing, research, coding and everyday questions.
Common ChatGPT errors
| Error | What it means | Usually | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
Something went wrong. | A general error: ChatGPT could not complete the request, either because of a server-side problem or something in your browser or network. | An outage | Refresh or start a new chat, then check status.openai.com. If it keeps happening only for you, try a private window with extensions off. Source |
There was an error generating a response. | ChatGPT started but could not produce an answer to this message. | An outage | Click Regenerate once. If every chat fails, the problem is likely on OpenAI's side. Source |
A network error occurred. | Your device lost or could not keep a reliable connection to OpenAI's servers, often during a long answer. | Your side | Turn off VPNs, proxies or web filters, then try another network or browser. Source |
An error occurred while connecting to the websocket. | The live connection ChatGPT uses to stream answers could not be opened from your device. | Your side | Disable VPNs and security filters, or switch network or browser. Source |
Unusual Activity Detected | OpenAI's systems flagged traffic from your session as possibly automated or shared. | Your side | Turn off VPNs or proxies, restart the browser and sign in again. Change your password if you did not share the account. Source |
There was a problem preparing your chat. | A browser extension or URL blocker stopped the page from loading properly. | Your side | Disable script-blocking extensions or open ChatGPT in a private window. Source |
Is it just you?
- Open chatgpt.com in a private window with extensions off; if it works there, an extension or cached data is the cause.
- Try the ChatGPT mobile app on cellular data: if the app works and the browser does not, the problem is your browser or network.
- Turn off any VPN, proxy or secure DNS filter, since OpenAI blocks some shared IP addresses.
- Start a new chat: very long conversations can fail on their own while new ones work.
- Compare with status.openai.com and the reports on this page; if many people report the same error at once, it is not you.

Questions
Either OpenAI is having an incident or something on your side (a VPN, an extension, a stale session or a flaky network) is blocking it. This page shows OpenAI's official status alongside our own checks, so if both are green the cause is most likely local.
Use the "Not working for me" button on this page to add your report to the count others see. To reach OpenAI directly, use the help widget at help.openai.com.
It is a catch-all error. OpenAI's help center says it can mean a temporary server problem or a local issue, so refresh, start a new chat and check status.openai.com before changing anything on your side.
