# [OpenAI login and ChatGPT errors, November 11, 2026](https://securteksecurity.com/outages/openai-login-signup-errors-november-11-2026)

   11th Nov 2026  

OpenAI is investigating elevated errors affecting logins, sign-ups, and ChatGPT features on November 11, 2026. OpenAI's status page carries the incident as "Elevated errors affecting logins, sign-ups, and ChatGPT features," marked Investigating and Degraded performance, with the first update at 3:43 PM Eastern (12:43 PM Pacific). The affected ChatGPT surfaces named by OpenAI are logins, sign-ups, work mode, Dots, sites, and spaces; OpenAI is also investigating elevated error rates when creating conversations through the OpenAI API. The status page shows one affected API component and five affected ChatGPT components.

Timeline: OpenAI posted Investigating updates at 3:43 PM, 3:46 PM, and 3:50 PM Eastern (12:43 PM, 12:46 PM, and 12:50 PM Pacific), each stating that it is investigating the outage for logins, sign-ups, work mode, Dots, sites, and spaces and is checking how it affects users; the 3:50 PM update added the elevated API conversation error rates. OpenAI posted a Resolved update at 3:52 PM Eastern (12:52 PM Pacific): "All affected services are operating normally again." The incident lasted 9 minutes from the first posted update to the resolution.

Affected services and scope: ChatGPT logins and sign-ups, work mode, Dots, sites, and spaces, and conversation creation through the OpenAI API. OpenAI's status banner reads "We're currently experiencing issues" for APIs and ChatGPT; Codex, FedRAMP, and the Ads Platform show as operational. Independent user reports of login failures and Dots problems during the same window, including reports received directly by SecurTek, corroborate the provider's account.

Provider's account: OpenAI says it is investigating and will share an update when it knows more. No cause has been disclosed, no restoration time has been stated, and no compensation has been stated.

Status: Restored November 11, 2026, at 3:52 PM Eastern (12:52 PM Pacific). The incident was verified live as active on November 11, 2026 at 3:51 PM Eastern by the SecurTek outage watch (live browser read by Jim Callahan of status.openai.com and the incident page: banner "We're currently experiencing issues," incident listed as active and Investigating with no resolution entry), and the resolution was verified by a direct read of the OpenAI incident page at 4:43 PM Eastern (Resolved, 3:52 PM Eastern). Cross-verified against independent user reports of the same failures in the same window.
