The artificial intelligence chatbot gave some users a "Too many concurrent requests" message, or would not answer questions.

The OpenAI status page earlier showed "elevated error rates" ongoing for seven hours.

While ChatGPT had issues, OpenAI touted the rollout of o3-pro.

OpenAI announced Monday that it reached $10 billion in annual recurring revenue, or ARR. Last year, the company had around $5.5 billion in ARR but reported a loss of about $5 billion.

ChatGPT rolled out an update to Advanced Voice for paid users on Saturday. The feature improves "intonation and naturalness, making interactions feel more fluid and human-like," according to the release notes.
