ChatGPT failing to respond: Have you experienced that?

Question

For the past two weeks, when using ChatGPT, I constantly receive the message that a respond can't be generated. I have to wait for a few minutes and hit the bottom. Ten minutes latter, the same story. what do you think causes this?

Vaibhav · Accepted Answer

I have, yes. But thankfully, there are a lot of better alternatives out now.

Answer

Same here. I suspect it's because of increased usage. With more people using ChatGPT, the servers might be struggling to keep up.

Answer

I thought it was just me! It’s frustrating. It might be a technical glitch or maintenance work. Reaching out to support could give some answers.

I’ve experienced the same thing. It could be related to network issues on their end. Hopefully, they’ll address this soon to improve reliability.

I've noticed this too, especially during peak hours. It could be that the servers are getting overwhelmed. Maybe try using it during off-peak times?

@vaibhavdwivedi Could share or or two of those alternatives?

@laiba_asghar Hope so. If it's going to remain the same, we'll all be in trouble for some time. We're getting dependent on it and here it goes.....

Oh, the infamous disappearing act of ChatGPT! It seems like it's taken up magic as a side hustle. Maybe it's just perfecting its disappearing act before dazzling us with its responses!

Yes, I've encountered this too. Refreshing the page or starting a new chat helped me with that.

Latham Ryan · Answer

I’ve noticed that this tends to happen more often during certain times of the day. Maybe it's related to the number of active users.

Answer

Yep, I’ve had this issue a lot recently. I wonder if they are doing updates or changes to the system that are causing these interruptions.

Answer

Yes, I’ve experienced delays and non-responses as well. It might help to clear your browser cache or try a different browser. Sometimes that works for me.

@salar__davari Claude and Gemini are great.

Answer

This has been happening to me too. I think it’s because of high demand. Maybe they need to add more servers to handle the traffic.
