Where is OpenAI's official status page?

OpenAI's official status page is at https://status.openai.com.

The question this page cannot answer.

Whether your thing is down. A vendor's status page is the last place to find that out — it is written by people who are, at that moment, busy. Many outages never make it onto one at all.

Quietbeat checks your own endpoints from several vantages, pages you when they stop answering, and — if you list OpenAI as a dependency — annotates the incident with whatever this feed was saying at the minute it opened. An annotation, never a reason to stay quiet.
