ChatGPT troubleshooting — fixes that actually work
- Check status.openai.com first — most ChatGPT outages are posted there within minutes.
- If the app shows a blank page, hard-refresh (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+R) or try an incognito window.
- "Something went wrong" on long chats is often a corrupt conversation — start a new chat.
- API 429 errors mean rate limits, not downtime: back off and retry with exponential delays.
- API 401 errors are an invalid/revoked key — rotate it in the OpenAI dashboard.
