How this was measured

This record comes only from RealUptime's own scheduled probes against OpenAI's public, unauthenticated endpoints, run from 4 named regions. It is never built from user reports or from OpenAI's own status page, and it does not change once this incident closes: this page is the permanent record, not a live view.
