OpenAI reported experiencing service disruptions beginning November 8th at 19:49. The affected services include ChatGPT and the ChatGPT API, specifically GPT-3 and GPT-4 models.
This outage may cause delays for users generating product descriptions through Fozzels. According to OpenAI, the disruption was the result of a DDoS attack on their infrastructure.
What is affected
- ChatGPT — the consumer-facing chat interface
- ChatGPT API — GPT-3 and GPT-4 models used by platforms like Fozzels
What this means for Fozzels users
If you are experiencing delays or errors when generating product content through Fozzels, this is likely caused by the OpenAI outage. Fozzels itself is fully operational — the delays stem from OpenAI's API being intermittently unavailable.
What you can do
We recommend monitoring the OpenAI status page for real-time updates on service restoration efforts. Once OpenAI resolves the issue, Fozzels will function normally again.
