Around 9:50 a.m. Eastern Time, OpenAI said all impacted services tied to Codex had fully recovered after an earlier period of elevated errors.
Codex, the AI tool that translates natural language into code, began experiencing problems earlier in the morning, with some users reporting they could not generate or run code. OpenAI acknowledged the issue on its status page, listing Codex among affected services before later marking the incident as resolved.
The disruption was relatively brief, lasting roughly an hour to 90 minutes based on OpenAI's own timeline. The company did not specify the root cause of the errors or whether any data was lost during the incident.
Codex powers a range of coding assistants, including GitHub Copilot and OpenAI's own ChatGPT code interpreter. The tool has become a staple for developers who rely on AI-generated code snippets to speed up routine tasks, a cohort sometimes referred to as "vibe coders."
