As users of the free tier of ChatGPT know, it's not uncommon for the service to reach capacity and become temporarily unavailable, but the current issues seem to go further.

For example, on Reddit some paid users of ChatGPT Plus are reporting problems (opens in a new tab), in the thread "Is that why I paid?". Other users report missing conversations, and many assume they have been banned from the service. Well, the good news is that this is most likely due to technical issues with OpenAI today.
