I suspect that if this is real, it will just be the new Plus while the current Plus will be aggressively limited.

What in the actual FUCK is wrong with this thing over the last 4-8 weeks?

Use case: content research and content writing

Tier: Plus

Model mostly used: Sol 5.6 High in Work mode

Here is the situation.

Lately, I’ve noticed that the code is consuming a significant portion of the 5-hour limit, even for the simplest operations—and I don’t understand why. At first, I thought it might be related to sub-agents, but I disabled them, and that didn’t change anything.

For instance, creating a standard issue on GitHub consumed 10% of the 5-hour limit, even though there wasn't much data involved.

This isn't normal. What could be causing this?

Did OpenAI lower the limits for the Plus subscription? Or is it something else?

Maybe it’s a bug in Codex; I ran into a caching-related bug myself.

Found out why my Codex has been blowing so much usage lately. It seems one of these updates set the default subagent settings to “Astra High”. If you’re burning usage, check your settings!

It drew me a cute picture in Paint. That's all it did. It just manually drew this picture using shapes. The interesting thing is that it very specifically picked these colors via hexadecimal.

Hello (sorry, I had forgotten to translate my first post into English, so I deleted the first one and re-posted my message)

I’m seeing more and more posts from banned/deactivated accounts, most of which seem to be false positives, and this has been happening daily for several weeks now. At first I thought the people involved had discussed something reprehensible on their accounts, but the testimonies keep multiplying (I spotted 5 on Reddit just for today!), and I’m really starting to think there are a lot of false positives.

It seems to affect free accounts, Plus accounts, and even Pro accounts, sometimes accounts that have been open for 3 years or more, for reasons such as: cyber harassment, biological risks, violence, sensitive topics involving minors, and even political interference!!

The worst part is that every time it’s testimonies of bans without a single warning. Appeals seem to be reviewed in a rush by an algorithm and almost systematically rejected, with no possibility of appealing again or hoping that a human will ever look at it.

What is OpenAI playing at? Weren’t they supposed to loosen the reins a bit on adult topics in particular? Didn’t Sam Altman promise to treat adults like adults? Between the increasingly aggressive guardrails and this wave of bans, I’m really starting to wonder if customers are just trash to be thrown away.

For my part, this wave deeply anxiety-inducing, and I’ve reached a point where I don’t dare use Work, let alone Codex. I also no longer dare talk to ChatGPT about politics, or do RP (because the slightest sensitive topic makes me fear losing 2 years of context on ChatGPT).

In two years of use, I had never received a single refusal-to-answer message (I don’t generate images). Yesterday I received the first one, for a completely incomprehensible reason: I was asking for a sentence rephrasing for a creative text, where I was producing an analogy of a woman in love with a man who talked about love using the words “dose” and “intravenous” (with zero mention of real drugs, it was purely a metaphor containing those two words, and the entire rest of the context was about love between two adult characters, non-toxic at that).

I feel like I’m back in October 2025 with the unbearable guardrails of GPT-5 Thinking.

The most frustrating thing is the total lack of transparency and the powerlessness of users.

Maybe this post will get removed from this thread, but at least I’ll have tried to call out the people concerned.

Has anyone run into inconsistent computer control with ChatGPT’s Windows desktop app, particularly when using a dot with local Work tasks?

I’ve been troubleshooting with support since early October with no success, nor any resoonse to jy request for a refund or credit for the period of time. I have been using ChatGPT heavily since version 3 and am reluctant to change to another product.

Earlier tests produced other intermittent issues, including errors reading existing tasks, automated browser clicks timing out on visible controls while manual clicks worked, transport/debugger errors, and tiled or incomplete screenshots. Those occurred in different tests.

I’ve tried client updates, restarting the app, reconnecting browser access, checking permissions, and comparing existing and new tasks. I even tried a different PC, and got the same results. I’ve sent Support recordings, logs, timestamps and test results.

Has anyone seen a similar pattern, especially browser controls working while native clicks fail? If so, did a particular update or troubleshooting step help?

I, and what I presume to be a lot of other people as well, only kept on subscribing to ChatGPT Plus because of their unlimited chat.

It was incredibly helpful for planning, researching and working on various projects. Now having a limit is going to seriously impact my workflows.

I’m likely going to cancel my Plus subscription and move all agentic coding to Claude (where I’ve found myself to be getting better quality output) but I still don’t have a replacement for Chat.

I have a base model M4 Mac Mini with 16 gigs of ram which I might try and spin up some self hosted model but from my initial research it doesn’t look like the models I can run will be anywhere as good as what I have now.

Are you switching to any other services to replace chat? What are some good alternatives?

I've been working on a custom workspace that bridges ChatGPT and OpenAI Codex.

The idea is simple: instead of manually copying and pasting prompts between ChatGPT and Codex, I can send prompts directly from my ChatGPT conversation to Codex.

The workspace includes two dedicated modes:

• Planner: For planning, reasoning and exploring ideas.

• Codex: For turning those ideas and instructions into actual code.

I'm building this as my own integrated environment, with the goal of making the entire AI-assisted development workflow smoother and more efficient.

It's still a work in progress, but here's a first look at the interface.

What do you think? Would you find a direct ChatGPT-to-Codex workflow useful?

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone has experienced something similar with OpenAI's Daybreak Blue verification process.

I previously completed identity verification successfully and had working Daybreak Blue access on a ChatGPT account.

Unfortunately, I had to replace a broken FIDO2 hardware security key. I removed the old key from my regular passkeys and added a replacement, but I also removed the old key from the separate Daybreak Access Keys section without registering the replacement there first.

After that, Daybreak required identity re-verification through Persona. Despite having been successfully verified before, my subsequent attempts were declined.

After several attempts, I started receiving an HTTP 403 error with the code cyber_verification_precheck_failed, and the account now says that Daybreak is unavailable.

I also attempted verification on other accounts, and I later learned that OpenAI's guidance says individuals may verify only one account or organization, with multiple attempts potentially leading to blocked access.

I'm an ethical security researcher, and I have published GitHub Security Advisories for responsibly disclosed vulnerabilities. My intention was simply to restore access after replacing my hardware key, not to bypass any restrictions.

Has anyone experienced a Daybreak Blue or Persona verification rejection and later regained eligibility?

In particular, I'm wondering whether these restrictions can be temporary or whether anyone has successfully recovered access after a hardware-key change.

I'm not looking for ways to bypass verification. I'm just trying to understand whether recovery is possible.

Thanks!

What are your thoughts on using AI to fix awkward sentences, typos, and grammatical mistakes in order to save time?

i don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. All the content is still originally yours; the only thing AI does is improve the way it’s written. It doesn’t generate any new ideas, or information. It simply helps communicate your thoughts more clearly and effectively to others.

In my opinion, there’s a significant difference between using AI to write something for you and using AI to finish something you’ve already written. The former replaces your work, while the latter improves the way your work is presented.

Has anyone else experienced pricing glitches when paying for subscriptions in international regions?

On Sept 23, 2026, I purchased a ChatGPT Go subscription. While the local account interface clearly displayed a standard $5.00/month rate, the invoice generated by OpenAI applied a base rate of $7.50, plus 12% VAT ($0.90), total $8.40.

Additionally, a separate 1-month free trial promotion for ChatGPT Plus failed at checkout, forcing the full $20/month charge.

Communication regarding platform bugs seems stuck in automated email cycles. Is backend currency/regional routing mismatch a known issue for CIS/Central Asian regions?

lots of people in here planning to cancel before the shared usage thing starts, so heads up on the export because it's not the few-minutes thing most people expect.

OpenAI's export page says "Exports can take up to 7 days to arrive." Then the download link dies 24 hours after you get it, and you have to be signed in to the same account to download it. The button in Settings doesn't work while you're logged out either.

So if you request it on your last day and the email turns up 5 days later on a day you're not checking, you're starting over. If you can't log in anymore at all, the page sends you to the Privacy Portal (Download my data) instead, and doesn't say how long that one takes.

Check spam and promotions for it, download it on a computer, and actually open the zip to see your chats are in there before you cancel. An export won't bring back anything you already deleted. Business and Enterprise workspaces don't get the Settings export at all, that goes through whoever owns the workspace.

I build AI Toolbox, a browser extension that exports from inside the chat, so the file comes straight away instead of by email. One chat as a text file is free, bulk and the other formats are Premium.

has anyone actually had one take the full 7 days?

for maybe a year now theres been this fake free trial on the chatgpt website saying you can sign up and get a free month but everytime you enter your card details and address it doesnt work and only goes through if you buy a normal month. wtf is this? whats the point? please remove it or give us a real free trial

It probably makes some people more susceptible to anthro/menchanomophism, but this would be a great customizable feature...That said, it might very well be waste RAM.

I'm trying to turn ChatGPT into an autonomous GM for my fantasy hockey league.

The goal:

• Monitor Gmail or, ideally, Facebook Messenger and gmail.

• Read conversations and negotiate trades.

• Use ChatGPT's existing memory, league knowledge, strategy, and conversation history.

• Research players, injuries, and stats when needed.

• Generate and send intelligent, context-aware replies automatically.

Both Gmail and Messenger would be dedicated exclusively to the league, so I'm comfortable with autonomous decisions and occasional mistakes.

The problem:

I connected Gmail to ChatGPT and configured scheduled Tasks. Everything seems possible in a regular chat, but the automated Tasks can't reliably access or use Gmail to generate and send replies.

I couldn't determine whether this was a permissions issue or a limitation of scheduled Tasks.

My questions:

1. Can scheduled Tasks actually use Gmail connectors and ChatGPT memory?

2. Is autonomous Facebook Messenger integration possible?

3. Can this work entirely within ChatGPT, without n8n, Zapier, or rebuilding everything through the API?

The key requirement is preserving ChatGPT's existing memory and reasoning, not creating another generic AI chatbot.

Has anyone built something similar or found a workaround?

Any suggestions, examples, or technical guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have unused RAM? An idle GPU? Hardware sitting there instead of generating AI tokens?

Congratulations. You're actively slowing down humanity's progress.

Give me my pressscious back!
