Why does OpenAI not work for me when its status says operational?
A status page lists the incidents a vendor has confirmed, and confirmation takes time: problems often reach users minutes before they reach the status page, and some partial or regional problems never appear on it. Your own network, account or region can also be the cause.
How can I get alerted when OpenAI has an incident?
Add an External Status Page monitor in Uptimely pointed at https://status.openai.com. It reads the page on a schedule and alerts your team by email, SMS, phone call, Slack, Discord or browser push when OpenAI reports a problem, beside the monitors for your own services.
