Now it seems to be back up, but now there's a waitlist for the paid "Plus" membership which gives access to ChatGPT 4. "Due to high demand, we've temporarily paused upgrades." displays on mouseover.

While we're looking at straws in the wind, I might as well add that the EU terms of use received some changes on the 14th of this month, though they won't become active until the 14th of December: https://openai.com/policies/eu-terms-of-use https://openai.com/policies/eu-terms-of-use https://help.openai.com/en/articles/8541941-terms-of-use-updates https://help.openai.com/en/articles/8541941-terms-of-use-upd... .
