ChatGPT, Claude and Grok had issues on September 3
On September 3, 2026, the following AI services had issues, according to news reports:
All three were working again by that afternoon, US time.
The lesson: use independent backups
If your work depends on one service, an outage stops your work too. Keep a backup that runs independently: a second AI tool from a different company and, for your own business, hosting that doesn't rely on a single provider.
OutageHawk checks these services and many more every 3 minutes, so you can see quickly whether a problem is on your end or theirs.
