If you just tried to access ChatGPT and came across the message “All our models are assisting other users,” you are not alone. I, too, faced the same message when trying to sign in to my OpenAI account. The explanation underneath read, “ChatGPT’s busy right now, but you’re in line. No need to do anything – we’ll refresh this page automatically when it’s your turn.“
As I dug deeper into it, both the underlying causes and solutions became apparent!
What does “All our models are assisting other users” mean?
The message indicates that the ChatGPT servers are under heavy load from an increased user influx and the models are unavailable at the moment. You will see a wait time listed underneath. In my case, it was 10 minutes!
In March’25, this happened due to an increased load on ChatGPT servers after they rolled out the Studio Ghibli filter. OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, has confirmed that the servers are running at full capacity and has requested users to minimize image generation. ChatGPT is also limiting image generation capabilities to 1-3 per day.
How can I fix “All our models are assisting other users” on ChatGPT?
1. Use a VPN
When you see “All our models are assisting other users” on ChatGPT, first connect to a VPN. This is what worked for me!
For all such issues, I rely on the free version of ProtonVPN. After connecting to a server based in Denmark and reloading the ChatGPT login page, I was able to instantly get rid of the message and sign into ChatGPT.

2. Use ChatGPT’s mobile app
When ChatGPT’s website shows “All our models are assisting other users,” switch to ChatGPT’s mobile app, either on Android or iOS.
Here’s a quick insight: The message appears only when you try to sign in to ChatGPT. When you are already logged in, you won’t be waitlisted. So, the trick is to use ChatGPT on a device where you are signed in.
3. Wait for a few minutes
If nothing works, the last option is to wait out the listed time period. It’s usually 10-12 minutes. Also, in some cases, you may be allowed access earlier.
That’s all for now. As soon as I discover more solutions for the “All our models are assisting other users” message, I will update the article and include those. In case you know other fixes, share them with our readers in the comments section.
