OpenAI is facing a shortage of computing power due to the popularity of ChatGPT. According to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, they had to temporarily stop selling new ChatGPT Plus subscriptions so that current users did not lose the quality of the service.
We are temporarily suspending registration of new ChatGPT Plus users🙁
The surge in usage since DevDay has exceeded our capacity and we want to make sure all users have a great experience.
You can still sign up to receive in-app notifications when the opportunity opens up again.
