OpenAI’s ChatGPT maintains strong operational stability heading into late August 2026, with the status page reporting 99.67% uptime for its core components through mid-month and no active incidents. Recent July outages, including a multi-hour global disruption on the 25th and smaller incidents earlier that week, highlighted infrastructure strain during peak usage but were resolved within a day each time. Traders appear to weigh these recoveries against OpenAI’s ongoing scaling of data centers and model optimizations, which have kept August downtime minimal so far—only isolated reports on the 19th. With fewer than three outage days priced at roughly 94% implied probability, the market reflects confidence that any further events will stay brief and contained before month-end resolution.

ChatGPT will be considered to have experienced a qualifying incident on the specified day if the OpenAI Status Page for ChatGPT (status.openai.com) displays that day’s status box as a shade of red indicating Partial/Full Outage once it is finalized. (green indicates "No incidents", yellow indicates "Degraded performance"). A day will be considered finalized once the following day’s status box is added on the Status Page.
Only incidents listing ChatGPT under 'Affected components' will be considered. Incidents labeled as affecting 'APIs,' 'Codex,' 'FedRamp,' or 'Ads Platform,' but not ChatGPT, will have no bearing on the resolution of this market.
This market will remain open until the specified day’s status box is finalized and all incidents that began during the specified date have been resolved. Revisions that change an incident’s impact classification to or from 'Partial/Full Outage' will be considered if the revision is published before the specified day’s status box is finalized or before all incidents that began during the specified date have been resolved.
This market will resolve once the specified day’s status box is finalized, provided no incident that began during the specified date is ongoing. In case of an ongoing incident the market will remain open until the incident is marked as “Resolved” and all relevant data has been released. If the incident in question is not resolved or all relevant data has not been released by the end of the seventh day after the specified date, this market will resolve based on the data available at that time.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official system status information published by OpenAI on status.openai.com; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
