What this usually means
"ChatGPT login loop" can be caused by a provider-side incident, local browser/session issues, account limits, or regional network variability. The goal is to confirm which one quickly before spending time on deep troubleshooting.
Fast verification checklist
- Check the live AI status monitor.
- Check the provider's status page or incident updates.
- Retry in a private window or different browser.
- Switch networks (Wi-Fi to mobile hotspot) to rule out local connectivity issues.
- If urgent, route work to a backup assistant and continue.
What to do while waiting
- Save prompts/tasks locally so you can retry after recovery.
- Use a backup provider for time-sensitive work.
- Avoid constant refresh loops; check for updates every few minutes.

| Only specific account/session affected | Auth/session issue likely | Re-authenticate once and retry in private mode. |
| ChatGPT slow but not fully down | Degraded performance | Throttle non-critical tasks and reroute priority tasks. |
