We have implemented a mitigation, and delayed Costs data is now processing through the Compliance API. Some customers may continue to see incomplete Costs data while the backlog catches up. We expect this catch-up process to continue through Sunday, October 11. ChatGPT usage and API Platform requests remain unaffected. We are monitoring recovery.

Some customers may continue to experience delayed Costs data through the Compliance API. ChatGPT usage and API Platform requests are not affected, and other reporting channels remain available. We have identified the cause and are continuing work to restore normal data freshness. We will provide another update as work progresses.

Your coding agent knows when OpenAI is down, and tells you when a failure is theirs, not yours. You can also get OpenAI incidents in a feed reader or in Slack.

Prompt
Install the outages.live MCP server, so that when something breaks you can tell if the cause is a provider we depend on and not my code. It reads the official status pages of cloud, AI, payment and developer providers and gives you their incidents as MCP tools.

Add it as a remote MCP server named "outages" at https://outages.cc/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no authentication), with your CLI command or your MCP config file.

Then:
1. Make sure it connects and shows the tools get_provider, list_feed and send_feedback.
2. Call get_provider with "openai" and tell me if OpenAI has a problem right now.
3. From now on, when a call to a third-party service fails or becomes slow, call get_provider for that service before you change my code.

Paste this into any coding agent. It adds the server with its own MCP setup.
