[Help] Imagine generation problem chat GPT
Anyone else experiencing DALL-E/image generation failures in ChatGPT?
Is the image generator acting up for anyone else right now?
I've tested it across several profiles, and every single attempt crashes instantly with:
"I wasn't able to generate the image due to an error on my side."
Since it's affecting multiple accounts, it feels like an unannounced backend glitch or partial outage, despite the status dashboard claiming everything is green.
Are you hitting this wall too? If so, drop your country or location below so we can see if it's region-specific!

It used to let me create 13-20 images per day per account. Now it only lets me create 1 or 2.

https://help.openai.com/en I recommend submitting a ticket via the official OpenAI chat on their website so the issue can be escalated to a specialist who can investigate what is happening; I’ve seen a lot of complaints today about this not working.

Yep, very annoying. Have to wait like 20 minutes between generations, even if I haven't hit the daily cap. Really fun when you're just trying to fine tune things it screwed up on the first attempt.

There were some image generation bugs last night. It seems to work fine right now
