OpenAI says ChatGPT Pro and Plus service restored after outage

The notable detail is what OpenAI did not say: no cause, no duration, no scope beyond the two paid tiers. That silence matters more than the restoration itself, because paying subscribers are the segment whose tolerance for reliability gaps is lowest, and competitors are quick to position on exactly that. Whether OpenAI adds any post-incident detail, and whether the paid tiers see any measurable churn, is the open question worth watching.
