New Delhi: It was a regular Monday afternoon when many people in India tried to log in to ChatGPT only to find error screens and half-loaded conversations.

The chatbot, which many rely on for work and study, suddenly stopped working smoothly.

For some, the app froze on the login page. Others said that even when the chatbot opened, it refused to generate replies or took minutes to respond.
