Share of our own checks against OpenAI endpoints that returned OpenAI's expected response. Evidence that their API edge is answering correctly — not that every product behind it works.
OpenAI posted no incidents in this window. That is either a clean run or a communication policy — from outside, the two look identical.

If you're a paying OpenAI customer, outages in these windows may count against OpenAI's SLA — vendors owe service credits for missed uptime targets, but only if you file inside the deadline. CheckUpstream tracks the entitlement, drafts the claim, and hands you the filing link.

A OpenAI outage only matters if something you ship depends on it. Point us at a public repository and we will read its dependencies and tell you — no account, nothing stored.

OpenAI's 30-day measured availability is 99.044%, from CheckUpstream's own probes against OpenAI endpoints. It is the share of checks that returned the expected response, not a figure taken from OpenAI's status page.
Sign up to CheckUpstream and add OpenAI to a watchlist. We send incident alerts via Slack, email, webhook, or PagerDuty within seconds of detection, covering both the official status page and community signals (HN, Reddit, Bluesky, Cloudflare Radar).
We poll OpenAI's official status page on a 1-5 minute cadence, parse its RSS / Atom feed as a fallback, ingest community signals from social platforms, and aggregate per-org SDK telemetry. Multiple sources reduce false positives versus any single feed alone.
