ChatGPT Codex Outage (status.openai.com)

OpenAI has posted an active incident for "ChatGPT Codex" services (investigating as of Nov 22, 2025, 07:19 PM), indicating parts of the code-generation API are currently experiencing outages or degraded availability. The notice is brief and ongoing — the provider is investigating the root cause and has not yet published a timeline for resolution. The status page emphasizes that availability metrics are reported at an aggregate level across all subscription tiers, models and error types, so the user impact may vary by plan, model and specific API features in use. This matters for developers and teams that rely on Codex-powered code completion, automation, CI integrations, or production tools: outages can break developer workflows, CI pipelines, and downstream services that depend on consistent code-generation responses. Technically, expect transient errors, increased latency or failed completions; aggregated metrics mean reported uptime may not reflect individual error patterns. Short-term mitigations include implementing exponential backoff and retries, routing to alternate models or cached responses where possible, and monitoring logs to detect specific error codes. Continue watching the provider’s status page for updates and plan for operational contingencies if your systems depend on Codex availability.
