OpenAI’s infrastructure has delivered strong uptime for ChatGPT through mid-to-late August 2026, with only brief incidents—such as roughly one-hour login and error-rate spikes on August 13 and 19—registering on status pages and Downdetector. These short disruptions, quickly resolved without cascading into full-day outages, align with the service’s historical reliability for large-scale large language model deployments and underpin the 94% market-implied odds on fewer than three outage days. A major platform-wide failure triggered by a model update, traffic surge, or infrastructure issue in the final week of the month remains the primary risk that could push the total to three or more days.

ChatGPT will be considered to have experienced a qualifying incident on a given day if the OpenAI Status Page for ChatGPT (status.openai.com) displays that day’s status box as a shade of red indicating Partial/Full Outage once all qualifying day’s status boxes are finalized. (green indicates "No incidents", yellow indicates "Degraded performance").
Only incidents listing ChatGPT under 'Affected components' will be considered. Incidents labeled as affecting 'APIs,' 'Codex,' 'FedRamp,' or 'Ads Platform,' but not ChatGPT, will have no bearing on the resolution of this market.
A day will be considered finalized once the following day’s status box is added on the Status Page.
This market will remain open until all qualifying day’s status boxes are finalized. Revisions that change an incident’s impact classification to or from 'Partial/Full Outage' will be considered if the revision is published within this market’s timeframe.
This market will resolve once all relevant days are finalized, provided no incident that began during the specified timeframe is ongoing. In case of an ongoing incident the market will remain open until the incident is marked as “Resolved” and all relevant data has been released. If the incident in question is not resolved or all relevant data has not been released by the end of the seventh day after the specified timeframe, this market will resolve based on the data available at that time.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official system status information published by OpenAI on status.openai.com; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
