I think this started for me last night, Fleeky. I was working with Chatty, and several times I had to hit the square that replaces the Up-Arrow for sending a comment to her. When she came back, she had the answer, but it happened several times. I thought she was just under a heavier server load than normal.

Once we are all addicted and 100% dependent on AI, we will be all dumbed down and un able to think for ourselves. There will be no escape.
Resistance is futile. 🤖
So true, we've become so reliant upon it.
Barely able to tie our shoelaces anymore without Chat's guidance, 🤣
Hi Fleeky,
Thanks for this, I am not even getting a response message, simply nothing. I type in a question and I get literally nothing back, it just does nothing.
Grateful for this update.
Cherie 😊👍🏽
I am on the free version and was using it until a little while ago and just got the usual message 'You’re out of GPT-5 responses until 2:29 PM
You need GPT-5 to continue this chat because it has images. Your limit resets after 2:29 PM.'
I was on the free version only up until recently, and I've had quite a few issues since I upgraded, by the sounds of it, I should have stuck with the free version! :o/

Looks like it back up and running again - according to OpenAI’s official status page, the issue has been marked as fully resolved!
Here’s the timeline of events from OpenAI’s status updates (all times are UK local time, BST):
08:10 AM / 09:10 AM BST: OpenAI began investigating reports that ChatGPT was “not displaying responses.”
09:51 AM BST: They moved into “monitoring” once a fix was underway.
10:23 AM BST: The incident was declared resolved.
Recent outage-tracking summaries also show this as a brief but significant disruption—lasting just over an hour or so—before restoration.

I've only just been able to get back in. I did have to shut it down and refresh everything. 👍🏽😊
Thanks for the update!
