How to Fix ChatGPT Network Error when Using the OpenAI Tool

ChatGPT is a popular AI-based chatbot that has been used to write scripts, essays, contracts, computer code, jokes, poems and marketing pitches.

However, some users have reported facing network errors while using the tool. Here are some possible solutions to fix the ChatGPT network error and other similar issues:

Check the OpenAI Network Status to Troubleshoot Network Issues with ChatGPT

To see if the OpenAI server is running, head over to status.openai.com and check its status. If the server is down, you’ll need to wait a while before it’s back up and running again.

Clear Google Chrome’s Browsing Cache or Data

If the server is not down, you can try clearing your Google Chrome browser’s cache and cookies data or try using a different browser. If the website is open for too long, you may need to refresh the page or re-log in for the AI to work properly.

To clear the cache in Chrome, follow these steps:

• Click the three dots on the top right corner of your browser window and select Settings.
• Click Show advanced settings at the bottom of the screen if you see it or keep scrolling down to locate Privacy categories.
• Under Privacy, click the Content settings button (or Settings).
• Under the Cookies section, find Allow local data to be set option and ensure that it is enabled so that websites can store data on your computer for faster loading times

However, please note that disabling this setting could prevent some websites from functioning properly. So, make sure you understand what each option does before making changes!

Use VPN Server to Access the Website

One way to potentially fix this is by using a Virtual Private Network (VPN). Adding a VPN server extension to your browser and switching it on before reloading the ChatGPT may help in resolving this issue.

Here are some of the premium VPN service providers we recommend:

• CyberGhost
• ExpressVPN
• Hotspot Shield
• IPVanish
• NordVPN
• Private Internet Access
• ProtonVPN
• Surfshark

Use Smaller Command 

In order to avoid network errors, you can ask the AI to break its responses into smaller, more manageable pieces and display them one at a time. 

To accomplish this, simply enter the following before starting any session: “During this session, please follow this rule by outputting 20 lines of code at a time, wait for confirmation before proceeding with the next 20 lines of code, and then repeating until finished.”

Set a Certain Limitation Rules

For example:

1. Output 30 lines of writing 
2. Wait for me to say continue 
3. Output the next 30 lines of text 
4. Repeat from 2 until complete.

Restart your WiFi Internet Router or Modem

• Turn off the router by pressing and holding the power button.
• Wait 30 seconds before turning it back on again, then try opening ChatGPT again

Check your Internet Network Connection Speed

• Check your Internet connection speed. If your Internet connection is slow, you may be experiencing a network error. Check out our guide to troubleshooting slow connections for tips on how to fix this problem.
• Restart your router. If restarting the Chrome browser does not resolve the issue, try restarting the router as well—in most cases, this will fix it!

We hope that you have had a successful experience running ChatGPT network and finding solutions to the errors we list above.
