Solution to Fix “Chat GPT is at Capacity Right Now” on iPhone

While OpenAI doesn’t offer a dedicated ChatGPT application for iOS or any other platform, users can still access the platform through the website, https://chat.openai.com/. And the good news is that the troubleshooting method that I will be discussing in this tutorial guide can be applied not just to iOS but also to Android, Windows, and Mac devices.

Step 1: Visit chat.openai.com in the Safari browser or any other browser on your iPhone.

Step 2: Tap on the “Get notified when we’re back” button under the message “ChatGPT is at capacity right now.”

Step 3: On the “Get notified when ChatGPT is back” page, tap on the “chat.openai.com link” without submitting your email address.

Step 4: You will be taken back to the homepage, where you may still see the “ChatGPT is at capacity right now” message. Repeat steps 2-4 until you see the “Log in” option.

Step 5: Now login with your credentials and use Chat GPT.

Please note that this process may need to be repeated multiple times as the capacity issue can be temporary. In some cases, it may take several attempts before being able to access the login page. I had to repeat the process four times until I saw the ChatGPT login page. Check out the video below:

When it comes to the “ChatGPT is at capacity” error, there are a few potential causes to consider. Here are some reasons behind this error:

High Number of Visitors

The site’s high traffic volume is one of the most common and potential causes.

Server Maintenance or Upscaling

Like any application or website, ChatGPT also undergoes a server maintenance to improve performance. You might have seen a notification on the top saying “We are upscaling.” During this time, the website may be temporarily unavailable or have limited capacity.

Clearing caches and cookies can improve performance of the browser by freeing up space. So, this can be helpful to prevent such errors.
