Too many concurrent requests when opening ChatGPT? You’re not alone

ChatGPT users are seeing a “Too many concurrent requests” error while trying to open the chatbot or submit a prompt. The problem is part of a wider service disruption affecting users worldwide. ChatGPT is currently facing an outage OpenAI’s official status page confirms elevated error rates across ChatGPT, its APIs, and Codex. The company says it is investigating the issue, although it has not yet shared the exact cause or a recovery timeline. Users have also reported login failures, missing conversation history, delayed responses, and prompts that fail to send. Reports appear to be coming from several regions, including India and the United States. The concurrent requests message does not necessarily mean you opened too many chats. During an outage, overloaded servers can display the same error across many accounts. For now, avoid repeatedly refreshing the page. Check OpenAI’s status page and try ChatGPT again after the service stabilizes.
