How long do OpenAI incidents last?

117 minmedian incident duration43 measured
9.6 h90th percentile1 in 10 ran longer
40 minmedian, major/critical only3 incidents

From 43 incidents with a vendor-posted start and resolve time. Longest on record: Elevated latency in the Responses API — 20.6 h (2026-08-31 22:27 UTC). Excluded, never estimated: nothing. Duration is the gap between the vendor's own posted timestamps — it is not measured downtime, uptime or an SLA figure, and a vendor that posts every blip will look worse here than one that posts nothing. Same rule as the outage-duration dataset.
