Where does this status come from?

Directly from OpenAI's own status page, status.openai.com — this tool reads its public status API and incident feed and caches the result for about a minute so repeat visits don't hammer the source.

Why does this say ChatGPT is up but it isn't working for me?

OpenAI's status page reflects platform-wide incidents, not every regional, account-specific, or client-side issue. Local network problems, a browser extension, or an isolated bug can affect you without triggering a status page update.
