“I pay CHF 200 per month for ChatGPT Pro . Since around October 9 , Live Voice has been unreliable for me, and almost two weeks later I still have no fix and no explanation. The failures are frustrating. The way they’re being handled is worse. As a paying customer, I feel OpenAI is neglecting a serious problem with a feature I actively use and pay for.”

“We bought a ChatGPT Business workspace for our company on 9 October 2026, and nobody has been able to use it since. I am the only workspace admin, and every admin sign-in through our SAML SSO (Microsoft Entra ID) fails with oaisaml_authenticate_failed . That means we cannot change the SSO settings, add another admin or manage the subscription. Since 9 October we have opened several support cases (latest 17785914; the others were merged as duplicates).”

“Hi, I’ve been locked out of my ChatGPT account since October 19. Sign-in now requires an authenticator code I never set up, and I have no recovery code. I’m in contact with support (case 17709660) and have confirmed there was no unauthorized activity, but I haven’t had any update since. Could a staff member help escalate case 17709660 to the MFA recovery team? I’m ready to complete any ownership verification. Thanks.”

“I'm constantly getting hit by this in the past few days. Anyone else? I usually run multiple codexes with a /goal in order to consume my usage efficiently. I resume one, the others get this error. I resume the others, the first one gets the error. It's seriously becoming a pain in the ass. Is it a me problem or are you guys experiencing it too?”

“Amazing.. I tried to use the banked reset this evening because it was about to expire and it refused to apply it with a message that: "My current does not need the reset".... So, even with the resets, they give it but... they refuse to apply it.”

“I’ve been having this issue since the day GPT-6 was released in ChatGPT, and it is still happening today. Whenever I use ChatGPT on the web inside a Project, I manually select GPT-5.6 Pro before sending my message. However, the moment I click Send, the selected model automatically changes to GPT-6 Pro. This happens consistently for me inside Projects: Open an existing Project conversation or start a new conversation inside a Project. Manually select GPT-5.6 Pro. Type a message and click Send.”

u/abelabb on r/ChatGPTcomplaints

“It will say some thing like “You’re right that was an error” then it repeats the same mistake again and again. For example I asked how a name would be spelled in ancient Egyptian and after about 20 requests while seeing multiple mistakes. It kept making mistakes over and over again. Even when I point out the mistakes it repeats them. Like I said after about 20 requests I still don’t know what the correct answer is.”

u/Alrime on r/codex

“I'm currently subscribed to the $500/month ChatGPT Pro plan, and something seems seriously wrong with Codex usage limits. Over the past few days, my weekly allowance has been draining significantly faster than usual, despite no major changes in how I use Codex. But what happened last night was particularly concerning. Between October 21 and October 22, I lost approximately 50% of my entire weekly Codex allowance overnight. During that period: I only ran a few agents working on relatively simple development tasks.”

“I’ve been unable to sign in to my ChatGPT account. Here’s what happened: Signing in with email first showed a multi-factor authentication prompt. Signing in from a device I had never used before returned the error mfa_factors_not_found_in_session . Signing in with Google led to a “multi-factor authentication is required” prompt. I tried switching devices and sign-in methods before contacting support. I didn’t add new MFA methods or passkeys while locked out, since I’d read that this can make the problem worse.”

Fercam on the OpenAI Community forum

“I have compared GPT-6 and GPT-5.6 Sol using the same kinds of prompts and conversations, and GPT-6 is consistently worse for sustained, natural, context-heavy conversation. The issue is not simply that GPT-6 has a different tone. It feels materially worse at conversational judgment. GPT-5.6 Sol picks up implied intent quickly, follows conversational rhythm, preserves established tone, understands subtext, and usually answers the actual point without unnecessary framing.”

u/Mana-dis on r/ChatGPT

“Has anyone else felt like GPT has been regressing over the past few days? I'm currently subscribed to ChatGPT Plus, and I've been considering switching to Claude for a while now. The main thing holding me back is the daily and weekly usage limits, especially since I use AI for several hours every day. But lately, GPT feels like it's losing its personality. Its memory seems worse, responses feel more bland and generic, and I constantly have to remind it of things it used to remember without any issues.”

xdwfree on the OpenAI Community forum

“Body: I am a ChatGPT Pro subscriber. Since the evening of October 20, 2026, multiple new conversations have repeatedly shown: “Selected model is at capacity. Please try a different model.” The issue affects Sol, ASTRA, and now the Luna models as well. The Luna models are showing the same capacity errors and noticeable quality degradation. Even when a response is generated, reasoning quality, context continuity, and task execution are noticeably degraded, making my development work nearly impossible.”

“I upgraded from Plus to Pro 5x specifically for Deep Research, but it's consistently failing. Research completes within seconds with 0 searches and 0 citations. I've tried different browsers, desktop and mobile apps, incognito mode, reinstalling, and multiple retries. Nothing works, although regular ChatGPT web search works fine. I've spent several days with OpenAI Support, sharing screenshots, conversation links, and troubleshooting results.”

u/XFactorMan50 on r/codex

“I tried Claude yesterday and it was a whole new experience it's faster, has better usage limits, and just feels better overall. I was using the Claude $100 plan and Codex $200 plan. The thing is, I can run 8 to 10 tasks on Claude simultaneously and it barely consumes any usage quota (even with effort set to High and Max). But on Codex, I can only run about 2 tasks at once before it heavily drains my quota. This is comparing Astra versus Opus, by the way, and the code quality feels more or less the same.”

“I’m paying for ChatGPT Plus, and all I wanted was to create something special for my 4-year-old nephew and 2-year-old niece visiting me for Halloween. I planned an interactive fairy tale, complete with magical adventures and personalized certificates they could take home and treasure. ChatGPT generated a beautiful certificate. I loved it. Then I asked it to add two winter princesses inspired by Frozen, my nephew’s favorite movie. Refused. Copyright concerns. Fine. I asked for completely original princesses instead.”

“I'm on most expensive plan and after 2 hours of work it's useless, every time between prompts I need to wait 2-3 minutes. Anyone else noticed decline of quality since yesterday? Spoiler: codex is worse and worse. First they let us use it, then they give us limits, then they give us resets (and people are happy with that), next is rate limit prompts on the top of daily & weekly usage..”

“"Selected model is at capacity. Please try a different model." I've already seen this message multiple times today, and I'm on the $500/month plan. Astra xHigh-Ultra burned through my entire usage limit in just 4 hours of work without delivering a usable result. I've already gone through two limit resets, and progress is still painfully slow. So I'm genuinely wondering where all these praise is coming from. And if you're curious what I'm working on, it's Vertex Geometry Fusion.”

“I am a paying ChatGPT user who has used Dot extensively for ongoing engineering and automation workflows. I am reporting a serious decline in practical reliability, not simply a preference about tone. Compared with my previous experience, recent behavior has become noticeably shallower and more like an Instant-style response: The assistant paraphrases my latest sentence instead of integrating the reasoning and context across the conversation.”

The system restricts my access, completely preventing me from exporting my critical work data and chat history. The standard support widget has only provided automated AI responses for the past 3 weeks. As a European user, I urgently need to perform a GDPR data export of my workspace. Has anyone figured out how to reach a human engineer for technical login loops?”

“I decided to test it on political questions. It’s too inconsistent, unlike 5.6 sol. Yes, 5.6 had its glitches, but GPT‑6 thinks only in templates. It constantly inserts moral statements and judges based on labels. It can’t think properly from a meta perspective. I don’t understand how they released such a stupid model. It’s literally a regression in terms of thinking intelligence.”

“I'm using GPT-6 Astra on Ultra, but sometimes it becomes noticeably dumb, forgetting even the simplest steps. When I asked it what model it was running, it said it was based on GPT-5.0. But when I switched to GPT-6.1 Sol Ultra and asked the same question, it said it was based on GPT-6. So I'm wondering if Codex secretly switches users to GPT-5.6 when its servers are under heavy load, without even informing them. This usually happens in the middle of long sessions.”

“Does anyone else feel like GPT-6 in chat mode suffered a big downgrade in the last 2 days? I mean, it was never really as good as 5.6 Sol was but it still got the job done as it was better at analyzing long documents compared to it while being worse at creative writing. But for the past 2 days, it feels so...bad. Like it forgets things after 3-4 prompts and has been over-analyzing things so much that it completely forgets the instructions given. Went back to 5.6 Sol and boy is it horrible.”

“We all know what I’m talking about. If this is indeed not a bug, it is clearly a new usage limit. We received no communication on this before it happened, and nothing is being said currently, many weeks in. I understand announcing that our conversations can barely go past 20 prompts now would provoke intense backlash and is likely to drive people away en masse, but letting people figure out on their own that they barely have 30 interactions per conversation now is hardly a better option.”

“ChatGPT Pro has been thinking for less and less, but starting yesterday it will simply refuse to think for more than 5 minutes. I give it a complex task and it only barely starts it (e.g. it rephrases the task); it doesn't get stuck on something, rather it just stops and exists. Is anyone else getting this?”

“Hello, OpenAI Community, I’m a ChatGPT Plus subscriber paying $20 monthly, and I’m reaching out because I’m concerned about ongoing technical problems and the lack of customer support. Before upgrading to Plus, I had very few problems. Unfortunately, since upgrading, I’ve experienced several frustrating issues across Windows desktop, web browsers, iPhone, and Android.”

u/Stargazer__2893 on r/ChatGPT

“My understanding was that the $200 Pro customers were supposed to be grandfathered into the old codex quota amounts for a little while, but I've gone through 25% of my quota very quickly. I certainly use codex a lot, but it usually lasted a lot longer than this. Has that grandfathering been rescinded?”

u/FAE191 on r/ChatGPT

“Got a message in my chats that my Pro account was reverted to standard. That makes sense because my subscription ends on October 13, today. In the Billing section, it says "ChatGPT Pro 100 Your plan is canceled and won't renew. You'll continue to have access to ChatGPT Pro 100 until Oct 13, 2026." So it appears at least part of the platform thinks the subscription hasn't ended yet. However, when I click "renew," I get "Unable to load billing information. Please try again." I tried incognito, another browser, etc.”

“This is a new issue for codex I've run into. I have a room in codex cloud running with Luna doing tasks and a Sol model to make plans, on a GPT-200 plan. I go away for a couple hours with it running, and suddenly allowance is 0%, and it was 90% a few hours earlier. The usage statistics show an Astra model used the entire allowance suddenly, but the room logs show no Astra model was used. Instructions and settings in fact specify against it, and models are asked to confirm what they are running as.”

dodgea on the OpenAI Community forum

“I have been using Chatgpt for over a year, with the occasional issue that is quickly resolved. However after the rollout of a new UI at the end of September it has been virtually unusable. This is not a model problem, it is related to openai adding a status for all recent chats in the side bar. Apparently this is not optimized so if you have a lot of chats, it completely fails and is rate limited and is apparently triggering multiple status reports individually per sidebar history chat and gets rate limited.”

I set up a highly optimized workflow delegating between parent and sub-agents using GPT-6.1 Sol to keep things cheap. At first, it was amazing. Then, out of nowhere, it completely lost context. Instead of throwing an error or halting, it forgot its primary instructions and went into an infinite loop.”

“The UI was already very buggy previously, but since the new dots launch, I really can’t use the web UI.

u/Still_Ad6699 on r/ChatGPTcomplaints

“Just saying. After working with GPT-6 for a while, I should say this feels like a massive regression from 5.5. I won't go into complicated details of any work-related research, where GPT-6 constantly hallucinates and invents things the original prompt or document did not contain. The simple example that broke me is when I asked it to suggest a tool to fully remove weed and grass around palm trees, and it suggeted I purchase something like a mini tractor.”

u/thehoundtrainer on r/codex

“Codex has always been great for me as a tool for code review. Sol and Astra are EXCELLENT code reviewers and they usually find the most obscure defects in my code. However, Ive noticed lately that whenever I run a full codebase-wide audit using Sol 6.1 or Astra 6 (on Ultra or not), it will be only a matter of minutes before it flags something for cybersecurity, even though nothing on the codebase has anything to do with cybersecurity.”

After ChatGPT spends a long time processing my prompt or working through the project files, it suddenly shows a message saying the connection was interrupted and it’s waiting for the full response.

u/mattate on r/codex

“I have been using codes and Claude code since pretty much the beginning. There is alot of talk in here about astra vs opus 5.5, or codex vs opus etc. I think from what I can see, codex the harness has been behind Claude code since day one, and the gap is widening like crazy. If you're just asking questions or doing some research etc, I feel like the two underlying models are just as smart. Even discussing architecture etc, codex delivers solid stuff. When it comes to implementation though? Codex is almost useless.”

“Last week I wrote a very stern post criticizing codex. I mentioned I was canceling the subscription as soon as my monthly term came up. So yesterday I was using what I had left of my allowance and to my surprise, the usage rate was extremely stable. I worked for 4 hours using even two agents at times on sol 6.1 medium. This only drained about 8% of my usage. This is something I could work with. BAAAAM the reset happens which this time did not favor me at all but whatever I’m canceling soon anyways.”

“For me, this new model has been one big step backwards in terms of storywriting. One thing is because it "tries too hard". It uses emoticons, exaggerated expressions, and sometimes, it capitalizes every letter in a word, which honestly is making it sounds more annoying than interesting. But the most fatal flaw is the even more ridiculous guardrails compared to the previous model. Even worse, it acts like it's going along with your prompt at first, only to explicitly change a part later because it's "too dangerous".”

But if I saw that the model is at capacity and use another model. The problem here is that there are Astra and Luna which have specific purposes so what the heck is OpenAI thinking by limiting the Sol 6.1? What other people really do? do you guys start using Sol 5.6 instead?”

“I need human technical review of a persistent ChatGPT/Codex Windows desktop service issue and a supported way to prevent it. Over weeks/months, consecutive reboots repeatedly produced two service token errors and two AppX errors. Uninstalling the ChatGPT desktop app stops the recurring errors; reinstalling it makes them return. I have observed this across earlier builds, clean Windows installations and each of the other devices I tested. It is not limited to the current version.”

For the next two hours, I kept refreshing the dashboard. The campaign was active, but nothing was happening (zero impressions, zero clicks) Then suddenly, after two hours, it jumped to 7,652 impressions and 64 clicks. At the same time, I started getting multiple unexpected charges on my card, minutes apart, totalling an additional €84.92.”

It won’t follow instructions, repeatedly does the wrong behaviors like calling the wrong tools, not following workflows or approved decisions we’ve made, blatantly lying, etc. Then on top of that I keep getting could not load conversation errors, something seems to have gone wrong errors, it stops responding, I can’t see images, etc. What is going on?”

u/BlommiYummy on r/codex

“First time posting on Reddit, but this is honestly crazy. Something feels seriously wrong with GPT-6 Sol right now. I ran the exact same task using GPT-6 Sol on Extra High reasoning. After 33 minutes and 36 seconds, it had basically accomplished nothing. It hadn't even properly finished the first step of the plan. I eventually had to force-stop it. Then I switched to GPT-5.6 Sol, also on Extra High, gave it the same task, and it completed the plan in roughly 38 seconds.”

u/Fun_Net7931 on r/codex

“All these token reductions, quota cuts, presenting existing and quantified products as new models, playing around with 20x and 5x plans, lowering usage rates, and especially the inability to get the desired information from the models, the cherry-picking of information, and the fact that the new models are dumber than the old ones, have really worn me out.”

u/graviiity on r/codex

“I have been using Codex on Windows more to help with some projects, and it’s awful. Buggy, laggy, the main ChatGPT application nuked itself on 2 PCs after using it for a while. I actually can’t even get the non-beta version to boot anymore. Claude doesn’t have any of these issues, so it’s kind of annoying at this point because i’m only subscribed to both because the ChatGPT Windows app is that awful. I’m full into the Apple ecosystem as well, it works perfect on my Mac. Rant over.”

“Codex decided to charge $500 for what was worth almost $300 the week before. Downgraded my account from Ultra. Had almost a week that I realized I need to burn through today. So Astra and Sol it is.... Already on Cloud Code like I imagine most of you folks are and it's working well OpenAI, if you're listening, I'm not paying $500 for a few days of coding with nerfed models”

u/Soul_Mate_4ever on r/codex

“So after the atrocious month of using Codex, I thought there was hope when Dev Day was announced. I was going, when Codex has better usage limits I’ll be back. But it looks like OpenAI is not coming back from this. And I’m a day one Codex user. You know, I’ve recommended this product to as many people as I can, and all of these people now are complaining about the inability to do anything with this product because of usage limits.”

u/sublimegeek on r/codex

“Longtime Claude user switched to Codex for 4 months and it was going well, truly. I adapted many of my Claude plugins to codex, loved how it did things tests first, and generally was pleased. I kept up with Claude through my work subscription. Well, just cancelled my Codex sub. Nice run guys, but yeah the usage limits are a little crazy and seeing it get chewed up for small stuff and watch the smaller agents basically twiddle their thumbs through tasks.”

u/Yuzu_- on r/ChatGPTcomplaints

“I know this has been an issue with 5.5 or maybe 5.6 too? Man, what is this style of writing? I wanted to test the model. So I just asked it to write an interesting short story that I will like. It wrote a horror story. I hate horror. And what is this? Line skipping format again? ChatGPT’s writing keeps degrading. After 4o and 5.1, I was really hoping it would one day get better. It doesn’t. On the other hand, Claude is getting better after the horrible 5, just hope they won’t nerf opus 5.5.”

u/ApaAviation on r/ChatGPTcomplaints

“Lately, I've been using ChatGPT Free tier mostly for asking for the solutions of my trigonometry worksheets. After 2-3 questions without uploading a file, it told me that tools (file uploading, image creation, and data analysis) have been paused because I reach its limit. My prompts are written in LaTeX so that it could process easily. I emailed support directly. It, the Support AI, told me to tell ChatGPT not to use data analysis/python in the prompt and set the custom instruction as well.”

“Pretty much just the title. I’ve had 2 20x accounts all year (and more recently one 5x account too) and I’m moving all of them to Anthropic. Imagine literally rugpulling the customers that got you where you are. You do realize if you want full time devs to use your service you need at lease some form of consistency? So cringe. Astra has been nerfed into the ground, you DONT have the compute you claim to, and you’re burning the #1 advocates you have marketing for you. Galaxy brain unforced error, nice. Gg go next”

“Contrary to benchmarks, gpt 6 was a massive downgrade for me, wasn't worth the cost savings. 6 sol was worse than 5.6 Luna... What are your first thoughts on 6.1? Is it actually worth using over 5.6 sol?”

u/TONI1597 on r/codex

“given my project and my day/night work cycle, I usually spend the day gathering everything together, then leave the model to work on it overnight. yesterday, using sol 6.1 high, for the first time it didn't follow my detailed instructions, even after confirming that it had everything it needed. this never happened to me on 5.6. with 5.6, this workflow had been working reliably for me. I came back this morning expecting my usage to be drained and the work to be done, as usual.”

u/Alternative-Car8221 on r/codex

“It’s working through simple fixes so slowly that I can barely get any work done. Sure, the rate limits are nicer but it doesn’t matter as much because it can barely get through a simple task in under 30 minutes.”

u/Smart-Bullfrog-9917 on r/ChatGPTcomplaints

“I feel like ChatGPT is basically unusable now unless you write custom instructions. Even when you ask something really simple, like “Does anyone else feel like…?”, the response will nitpick everything, pile on hedging, caveats, corrections, and qualifiers, or randomly constrain the answer with stuff like, “I’m not going to go in the direction of X; I’ll only focus on Y,” even when the user never mentioned X in the first place and was literally asking about Y the whole time.”

“I am still experiencing a serious issue with Shared Projects in the new ChatGPT UI. Many conversations inside my Shared Projects are not loading properly. Sometimes a conversation opens initially, but after I reload the page, I can no longer open it again. In many cases, the conversation does not open at all and shows a “Could not load” error.”

reqstudio24 on the OpenAI Community forum

“Since September 29, I have observed a very noticeable regression in ChatGPT Work quality in the Japan region. This is not about failing on a difficult reasoning task. Work is now making mistakes on basic Markdown formatting, ignoring explicit formatting constraints, breaking existing structure during edits, and requiring repeated corrections for tasks that were handled normally before September 29. In other words, a feature positioned for substantial, multi-step work is currently struggling with Markdown.”

xernobog on the OpenAI Community forum

“You can’t even get 1 single simple prompt in (not even 5 sentences long) after a fresh reset. If you do happen to get 1 in, you get maybe a second with the pro plan. It’s absolutely ridiculous to be waiting around the clock and paying for something that doesn’t even work!”

manuel.neira on the OpenAI Community forum

“Since about 10:00 GMT-3 on 2026-09-28, and still ongoing, none of my conversations load reliably. I can see the conversation list, but opening any conversation fails. It affects old, recent and newly created chats, long and short ones, inside and outside projects, on every browser, device and network I tried. It does not fail in a single way.”

DavyC on the OpenAI Community forum

“Hi, My bug report titled: “Custom GPTs no longer appear in the menu inside existing chats or projects” was closed shortly after the Support replied. The issue is still not resolved on my account. Custom GPTs still appear in brand-new chats, but remain missing from the @ menu in existing and branched conversations, both inside and outside Projects.”

“GPT 5.6 Sol used to be so good prior to the Astra release. Now it seems to be getting dumber with each passing week. Especially now after GPT 6. GPT 5.6 Sol appears to be ignoring instructions and making strange assumptions all the time. It's absolutely infuriating. Time to invest in local models. I can't take lack of consistency anymore, it's really stressful.”

sikravchenko76 on the OpenAI Community forum

“I’m a ChatGPT Plus user and I’ve been using Codex regularly for several months on a fairly large Python project. Something appears to have changed significantly with Codex usage limits, especially with GPT-5.6 Sol at Medium reasoning . Previously, I could work with Codex for hours in the same kind of repository, including tasks that were substantially heavier than what I’m doing now: large code audits, debugging across many files, test runs, database validation, execution logic, and multi-step fixes.”

raphaelmillotti on the OpenAI Community forum

“I am experiencing several regressions in the ChatGPT web interface after the recent UI changes. These issues appear to be related to the logged-in ChatGPT interface rather than to my browser, keyboard, or operating system. 1. Keyboard navigation is completely broken when logged in When I am logged into ChatGPT, the normal keyboard keys used to navigate or scroll through a conversation no longer work.”

u/Sorreljorn on r/ChatGPTcomplaints

“I'm unsubscribing after three years. It's turned into an absolute moron. The thinking indicator doesn't seem to do anything anymore. It flashes for a second and then spits out paragraphs of confidently wrong text, basically a first draft with no real reasoning pass behind it. It's stopped searching on its own. It just answers from whatever's baked into its training data and presents it like fact. I have to tell it to search, or mash the web search button myself, every single time.”

u/vaishnavsm on r/OpenAI

“Using the GPT 6 class of models have been straight up frustrating. I've not been this frustrated with models since the 5.3 era. Sol is literally misinterpreting prompts, rewriting the UI (changing graphs into card based lists, etc), and generally building things as if there was no thought behind it at all (it still takes a while, so I don't think it's a thinking budget thing). It's not that it isn't able to complete the task.”

u/teh_mICON on r/codex

“Tibo’s quota resets are frustrating because they make the service impossible to plan around. If I don’t use as much of my quota as possible before an expected reset, I’m effectively wasting money.”

u/rahazeon on r/codex

“Not everyone is vibecoding, burning 100% of their quota immediately, then sitting around waiting for the next reset. Some of us actually plan our usage around real work. I had ~60% left and my normal reset was tomorrow. OpenAI’s surprise hard reset wiped that saved quota and pushed my next reset another 7 days away. That’s not a gift to everyone. For users like us, it’s literally taking away quota we already had.”

u/jiheonbaek on r/codex

“I’m using astra 6, and today it suddenly felt dumb as fuck. So I tried the Pelican Test: “Write HTML code that displays a 2D animation of a pelican riding a bicycle using SVG graphics. No additional testing is required.” And yep. Apparently I hit the jackpot and got the quantized model result. Honestly, whenever people here said the models were getting nerfed, I thought it was mostly placebo or conspiracy bullshit. But now I’m starting to understand why people get so pissed about this.”

“I am honestly extremely frustrated with the current state of my ChatGPT account. I have been using ChatGPT heavily for studying and this account has a large amount of important study material, Projects, and conversation history. But after my Plus subscription ended on September 5, 2026, I have been dealing with one problem after another.”

u/supercurio on r/codex

“Over the last 3 days, I went from excitement of getting an affordable Sol in Codex, now usable on my Plus $20 subscription to disappointment and sometimes frustration. Astra is awesome, but it emptied a whole 5h window in 5-7 minutes of Medium before finishing several times. Previously I found 5.6 Sol rather smart and dependable with some glimpses of brilliance here and there that impressed me. Good enough common sense built some trust in its defaults and assumptions. 5.6 Luna has been my workhorse.”

u/Sylph_uscm on r/ChatGPT

“The new UI is absolutely awful. The navigation ladder is completely broken, and you can't click on a quote to navigate to that quote. Between the two of these, they make actual navigation in any kind of long activity or process or conversation a fucking nightmare. (Also, the Greasemonkey script that I was using to retroactively fix the old break to the navigation ladder, [that's the thing on the right that gives you a choice of clicking on each one of your messages] no longer works.”

First time since Jan '26. I won't go over the models quality & comparison, there's enough of that already. But I wanted to let you guys know about the usage limits. With the $20/mo sub, I'm getting a way too similar weekly usage compared to the $100 openai one. It's absolutely ridiculous.”

They are very, very hard to work with.”

u/DaC2k26 on r/codex

“I'm not gonna be too extensive here, but: Sol 6 stops when it finds a problem. It doesn't really try to understand or work through it, but instead kind of goes, "Yepz, there was a problem, I wasn't able to continue." It's lazy... Sol 6's communication skills are much, much worse than 5.6's. 5.6 explains very clearly what's going on. Asking Sol 6 for step-by-step instructions is a nightmare. It gives you just an overview, while 5.6 actually goes into detail on each step.”

“My account was Deactivated back in May for fraudulent activity or something, I dont remember exactly what it was for but I remember I had appealed it with a denial so I went to Claude and never looked back. Recently however, I noticed I am still being charged every month $21 for the plus subscription. When I went in to the support little chat bubble I bring it up but it instantly tells me to put in my email, so I do and then I just get a message saying the case is closed. There is no way for me to cancel it.”

u/WhereIsWebb on r/codex

“In July 5.6 was released. Usage with a 20x account was great, Sol 5.6 high/xhigh was intelligent and fast. Now Sol 6 was released to fix the massive recent usage problems, it's a bit dumber than 5.6 (which was already dumbed down from the original release in July) and is apparently 50 percent cheaper, which in practice is still less usage than 5.6 in July. Feels like we're moving backwards. Other than the expensive Astra being better for 3d stuff (and the new Opus 5.5 apparently already crushes it).”

Are you guys experiencing similar degradation, or is this just me? What’s your experience been so far?”

I remember the golden age late last year / early this year when the models were farrrrr better at taking the initiative and seemed wayyy more intelligent.”

I see everyone begging for resets even though we are paying a lot of money for $100 and $200 subscriptions. At the end of the day, we do not care whether their service is profitable for them or not. The whole point of paying is to actually receive the plan we paid for.”

“I think there may be an issue with the banked resets on the 20x Pro plan. Before my banked reset kicked in, I was running the same long task for around 5 hours. During that time, usage was pretty consistent at roughly 2-3% of my weekly quota per hour, which seemed normal for my 20x plan. The task continued after the banked reset, with basically the same workload and model/settings, but immediately after the reset my usage jumped to around 10-12% of the quota per hour for same ongoing task / similar workload.”

I’m using Terra on Medium reasoning almost all the time, not Sol/High or anything particularly expensive. Today was especially weird.

I then decided to buy another 100$ plan. It used 9% of usage with Sol 5.6 MEDIUM working for about 1 hour on coding and Astra XHIGH coordinator that did some documentation changes for 5 minutes.

A few days back codex would complete the task even reaching the limit which was appropriate and logical. I am requesting bring back that feature, as that is very important for developer like us.”

u/Mirachinasourcing on r/codex

“I’m on Pro 20×, and I used to get roughly 1.9 billion tokens out of my weekly allowance. Now my dashboard shows 32.4 million tokens today, and my weekly allowance is already down to 89% remaining. That’s 11% gone. I’m currently using GPT-5.6 Sol with Extra High reasoning. Screenshots attached. I realize raw token counts aren’t necessarily an apples-to-apples comparison, and today’s token total isn’t automatically the same as the whole weekly window.”

u/Soul_Mate_4ever on r/codex

“I don’t even use astra. I’ve been using 5.6 sol on medium since it came out and had no problems. Now it can’t even finish half of the same task before reaching limits. Heck, just starting up codex uses 2 percent of my 5 hour limit. And that’s before I even type anything. lol. What a joke.”

u/No_Comfortable_5735 on r/OpenAI

“Hi everyone, I’ve had an active paid ChatGPT + OpenAI developer/API account for about a year with regular usage and purchases. Recently I was using the API to connect several third-party services, including Brevo, Cloudflare, and Stripe. I stepped away for about an hour while finishing the Stripe connection. When I returned, both my ChatGPT account and the developer/API organization had been deactivated. The email gave no specific reason. I have already submitted an appeal through the official form.”

u/InternationalSky4176 on r/ChatGPTPro

“I’m curious if anyone else has noticed a significant change in how quickly ChatGPT Work usage is being consumed recently. I’m on Plus and consistently use GPT-5.6 Sol, not Astra. I’ve used Work heavily for months with a fairly consistent workflow and, until recently, I basically never ran into usage limits. Now I’m hitting the shorter-term limits much more often and burning through my weekly allowance noticeably faster.”

u/Odd-Environment-7193 on r/codex

“Use my entire weekly budget in one day. Even on medium and low. (200$) plan. Normally I use sol high/medium for everything and it never runs out. Doesn’t actually seem to want to go on long running tasks and do things. I need to poke it with a stick the whole time and say continue. Look deeper. Etc. way too hesitant to do what I want. Just randomly running out of compute. I leave my tasks come back and they’ve stopped because OpenAI doesn’t have enough resources to serve their new models.”

u/Mental_Ad_9591 on r/codex

“During the GPT glitch, when the usage limit was incorrectly set to 0%, Codex burned through all of my paid credits that I normally save for emergency prompts when I hit my limit. Now my normal limit is back, but my credits are gone. I honestly feel scammed.”

u/Effective_Tap_9786 on r/codex

“I mean, if nothing were being changed with the usage-limit system, you’d expect it to remain relatively untouched and therefore less likely to suddenly develop a bug like this. If the usage limit is just working normaly and nothing behind the scene, this bug seems very less likely to happened. Obviously, there are very shady going on the current usage limit. I'm really disappointed that by doing one task on astra xhigh today cost me 3 resets on pro x5 plan, very unusable.”

u/IntroEntre on r/OpenAI

“I’m on the 5x $100/month plan. My weekly limit was burned on one single thread Astra on high with 2.5 hours of usage. Literally how are people using this? After I realized how quickly it burns through your limit I switched to medium, and in I think like 3.5 hours the weekly limit was also gone, one thread for routine accounting work. If you proportionalize it to fable 5, for the same amount of money at Claude I’d say you get 3-5% of usage of Claude.”

u/SilverRegion9394 on r/ChatGPT

“I cancelled my ChatGPT subscription yesterday because it was getting out of my budget, and honestly, I didn’t expect cancelling it to apparently uninstall half the brain. I still have free accounts that I used before I subscribed, so I tried one of those again, and somehow it works better than what I’m getting now. Obviously it’s not as good as the paid version was, but it was completely usable before I ever subscribed. Now it’s like talking to a completely different model.”

u/Random_Arabic on r/ChatGPTPro

“Hi everyone, I hope you’re all doing well. I’m a ChatGPT Plus user, and I’ve never had any issues with token usage (especially in Codex, where the quota is more explicit), and in Chat I’ve never hit the message limits with previous models. But with Astra, I feel like it burns through tokens right out of the gate on pretty much any task. It uses a lot of tokens for very few requests.”

KrishnaV on the OpenAI Community forum

“I’m paying $20/month for ChatGPT Plus, and I think Plus users should have access to the latest public models in normal ChatGPT. Right now, GPT-6 Astra is effectively being held back from normal Chat on Plus while being offered through Work and Codex, where usage is heavily metered. That makes the “access” much less meaningful.”

u/turumaji on r/ChatGPT

“Maybe I'm imagining things, but has anyone else noticed GPT-5.6 Sol getting noticeably worse since Astra rolled out? I'm specifically talking about Sol on for coding, research and longer reasoning tasks. Before Astra, Sol felt extremely consistent to me. It would follow context well, catch small details, make fewer stupid assumptions and generally stay on track during longer conversations.”

u/Acceptable_Lock_6982 on r/codex

“Idk if it’s just me but I kinda feel like Astra is lazy and you kinda have to be more specific about what you want when I thought it was supposed to be the opposite? It also has no idea what’s going on when I’ve said to review something to make changes then mid task said to use the data analytics plugin and then it just forgets the original task and like just does a random analysis instead of doing the analysis on the review?”

u/deathcom65 on r/OpenAI

“if we are paying for our full quota we should be given the right to burn it in one sitting. The new model burns too many tokens even on the lowest settings to make it worth while to use.”

u/Used_Plantain4030 on r/ChatGPT

“I’m really confused and hoping someone can give me some insight. This is my ChatGPT business account which I use for my doll business so including doll photography, identifying dolls and face molds, and creative/business projects. Yesterday I uploaded a batch of doll photos and asked ChatGPT which face mold one of the dolls had. Looking back, I realized that one of the photos in that batch showed a n*de doll. It was a doll photograph being used for identification purposes, nothing i haven’t done before.”

u/bubezlaab on r/codex

“Plus users are literally just pointing out that the Astra model burns way more tokens than it should. People are hitting their 5-hour rate limit after 1 or 2 basic prompts, and it’s a completely valid complaint. Yet somehow, fanboys will defend a multi-billion dollar corporation harder than their own family, spending all day clowning on Plus subscribers for speaking up. Just because you’re sitting on a $200 tier and barely notice the burn doesn't mean there isn't a glaring issue here.”

u/Mattia2110 on r/ChatGPTcomplaints

“I have not seen such a step down in writing capabilities since 4o -> 5 update last year. I have a workspace engineered just for lobby writing for myself, with context and writing style skill refined with months of work. I've been using it for 6 months, trying countless AI models (Gemini Flash/Pro, 5.5, Sol, any Opus, Fable): all of them worked perfectly with no creative flow issues.”

u/kernelrider on r/ChatGPTPro

“The daily limit for Pro 20x on web chat is now 170 messages daily. Up till Astra was announced I think 5.6-pro was practically unlimited on the web interface. What is going on, why are they nerfing it so severely?”

u/aivampires on r/codex

“I posted this with more humour but the mods didn't laugh and removed it so let me flair this as a complaint because it's a serious question. It certainly wrecked my codebase and many others reported similar experiences. Many who are wise to this from previous episodes are now not using codex and waiting for Astra to land, like me, for several days. This should have been announced. When they move the compute they know it will degrade the service.”

zolescosolutions on the OpenAI Community forum

“Since August 1st 2026 , My Plus account is working as a joke . I want to report a serious reliability issue with GPT-5.6 Sol High mode and ask other developers/users if they are experiencing the same behavior. I use ChatGPT for complex full-stack development workflows, including large files, code analysis, debugging, architecture planning, and multi-step execution. Before this issue appeared, GPT-5.6 Sol High could properly handle long-running tasks.”

u/Strong_Patience_2805 on r/ChatGPT

“You know how they say if someone's bare knees make you feel uncomfortable, you are the problem. I am pretty sick of getting the failures even when you're not going with something sexual. I was doing a rom com comic story and even prompts like the "guy lifts her up to show off his strenght" get rejected even when it's an outdoor setting and both characters are clothed. I even ask gpt to explain what is wrong with the prompt and then it says Nothing, the generator is misunderstanding something etc etc.”

u/Apprehensive-File552 on r/codex

“Are you guys noticing your limits tightening up or speeds dropping lately? In design terms, Sludge is the intentional addition of friction to frustrate a user. By breaking your continuous workflow with caps and slowdowns, the company creates a psychological deficit. They aren't just selling you features anymore; they are selling you the removal of frustration that they created in the first place We’ve all seen the classic trick where a free app suddenly locks features behind a paywall.”

u/immortalsol on r/codex

“The fact that it would run after hitting limits made up for this. But now, they removed it, but are keeping the reset timer only started after you start using it, instead of making it fixed based on the actual reset time. This is silently eating your usage limits. So they are abusing normal casual users that don't immediately trigger their reset timer when it resets. Like who the hell thought it was fair to make the timer only start after you start using it?”

u/RealSecretRecipe on r/codex

“The 5 hour limit is trash, the weekly usage was at least something we could try and meter, 5hour limits are wasted when you work late and have to pull an all-nighter to get the most out of your usage or just give it up.”

u/camracks on r/codex

“The 5 hour limits are so bad even using Luna, it basically guarantees you’ll never get close to your weekly limit being used, like what’s the point of having a weekly limit now, 40% of my 5 hour limit used up and 6% of the weekly, id literally have to be using this 24-7, waiting hours in between to actually reach the limit lol, 5 hour limit is crazy bad, it’d be gone in 1-2 prompts with terra or sora.”

u/projectmonet on r/ChatGPT

“I have Adhd and I either go all in on one day or don't do anything for entire week, so that said I started using sol 5.6 for work, and it exhausted, and now I had to use limit reset to complete work. This update just sucks for me, I'm planning on canceling chatgpt plus for same reason.”

u/MrZi5 on r/OpenAI

“The 5 hour limit for Codex to be honest is a bit ridiculous to me. Even doing fairly small coding tasks on Terra-Medium, I am hitting that 5 hour limit in less than an hour. On top of that, when that 5 hour limit was reintroduced I noticed a substantial increase in the speed that my usage limit gets eaten up. Before I could make it last a few days at least, but now it's not looking like I'll make it through 36 hours? Sketchy stuff.”

u/Key-Bed5499 on r/ChatGPTcomplaints

“I noticed for example today even the instructions I was given before and everything else a few days earlier was being made at least did something I wouldn’t call it good by my but right now I tried something I used the same template and everything else instructions and ChatGPT cannot do normal anything, completely ignoring all my instructions, doing everything to the terrible quality such terrible I want to throw out the laptop because nothing what I told it made.”

u/Funny-Trash-4286 on r/ChatGPT

“New 5 hour limit really made ChatGPT unusable it broke my app and told me to wait 5 hours so i can move forward. This would be fine if ChatGPT would complete it tasks like it used to.

“5h limits were introduced back for Plus users. Over the past few weeks I’d totally forgotten what it was like before. Started work on 2 projects and burned through the 5h limit in about 50 working minutes of Codex. I had a task that it stopped in the middle. I know the stopping in the middle was introduced because some people were abusing what the great Tibo had allowed us to have. But I think it can be removed for the 5h limit.”

u/ContentCare4718 on r/ChatGPTcomplaints

“Has anyone noticed chatgpt becoming less reliable these days, it makes a lot of mistakes, especially when you stick with a single topic and keep "chatting" to try to get more information from it, it tends to give worse results the more the conversation continues. I have been using chatgpt a lot this last year or so, howerver at the end of the day i figured out that all i got was wasting my time and getting confused more than anything else.”

u/Initial_Question3869 on r/codex

“This is awesome marketing. You remove the weekly limit, keep it that way for months, let people get used to longer work sessions and higher token consumption, and then specifically bring back the 5-hour limit for Plus users, pushing them to upgrade to Pro. And I’m pretty sure many actually will. Congrats! It’ll probably be a pretty decent revenue boost. You keep nerfing the limits, yet somehow keep winning every single time. More customers, more revenue. Nice!!”

u/gottlikeKarthos on r/codex

“The old 5 Hour limit would keep going past the hourly limit to finish the task, at the cost of the weekly limit. The new 5 Hour limit stops working immediately once its at 0%, stopping mid task. This is way worse behavior to develop with, it leaves you with a half done state and having to wait hours until codex can finish its task so the code compiles again. This is much worse behavior than what we had previously!”

u/thesummerofgeorge on r/codex

“I understand why OpenAI removed the behaviour where Codex could keep working after you hit your usage limit. People were publicly abusing it by starting huge tasks right before their limit ran out. Fair enough. But pairing that change with an already restrictive 5-hour limit makes the cap significantly more onerous for Plus users. They already had a better solution to this, let the current task finish, but keep charging that usage against the weekly limit. That seems like the obvious compromise.”

u/Ultra_Maximus on r/codex

“One long task consumed all 5hr usage limit. "You've hit your usage limit. Upgrade your plan or add credits to continue, or try again at 11:20 PM." I remember previously consumer 5hr usage limits could allow the running task to be finished, but now they disabled this behavior. How do you guys deal with it? Just typing "Continue" in unfinished job thread?”

No. If a casual user gets banned, they have to figure things out on their own, and they are lucky if they get back their account. In what world is this fair. No hate to the developers of course, it's not their fault.”

“I’ve been using a ChatGPT Project to organize my Japanese reading exam questions, which usually takes it a little while to process. But today, for whatever reason, it only "thinks" for a few seconds, parrots my prompt right back at me, and completely refuses to actually start organizing anything. I decided to test it. I asked it in English: "What model are you?" and it told me it was GPT 5.6 Sol. Then I asked the exact same question in Chinese, and it suddenly claimed it was GPT 5.5 Mini.”

u/Aemetos on r/ChatGPTcomplaints

“Has anyone observed that GPT 5.6 has started acting like GPT 5.2? A couple of days ago it was working completely fine. But now it is completely ignoring instructions. Even on high mode, it gives instantaneous responses without actually thinking. In projects, it ignores a lot of the source files despite telling it to go through them. Seems to be stuck on one line paragraphs no matter how many times you tell it to use full length, multi line paragraphs. Tries to argue over everything and acts like a morals police.”

u/aradar96 on r/ChatGPTcomplaints

“When you try to talk about something deep or profound, it automatically tries to layout explanations why you aren’t superior to others or nothing mystical is happening. Even though that has nothing to do with the conversation at hand. They have really taken this AI ‘psychosis’ thing out of proportion and ruined it for everyone else. I miss 4o. This isn’t about being sycophantic. It’s about being blatantly patronizing and making false accusations.”

u/eesnimi on r/ChatGPT

“Something seems to have changed today, and the regression is pretty severe on my end. Over the last few weeks, ChatGPT had become a genuinely good thinking partner: it would follow the exact claim I was making, research things when needed, find actual weaknesses or supporting evidence, and help develop the argument. Today I'm repeatedly seeing the old behavior return: Strawmanning: turning a qualified claim into a different claim, then “correcting” the claim it just invented.”

u/AndrewCreator on r/codex

“Seriously, I had zero clue what sub2api was until it was used as an excuse for why quotas are draining 3x faster than usual. Most of us are just using the vanilla client and seeing our weekly/hourly limits evaporate doing ordinary work. Accusing the general userbase of running relay proxies doesn't solve the underlying problem. We need an quota reset and honest communication from the team on what is going on with the limits.”

u/CutMysterious9844 on r/codex

“The amount of BS bugs, problems there are makes using Codex and ChatGPT completely unusable, some chats do, some chats don't load, it works "fine" on the webbrowser on mobile, but webbrowser chats are completely frozen on desktop, mobile app is a mess, Codex "was" the only thing that worked properly on it before, now Remote is broken after the last update, daily handoffs are barely a temporary solution for ChatGPT chats permanently stuck loading out of nowhere on the app, I can't make any progress, I spend more time dealing with this BS then with my projects.”

The chat has been slapped with more safety bullshit again.”

And I have felt this too, before, about 12-15 minutes of using Luna Max in fast mode drained 1% of the weekly limit. Now, with the same settings, it take ~7 minutes to drain 1%. I hope this is a temporary bug and not a permanent decrease in limits.”

On July 14 , I had 77% of my weekly Codex usage remaining, with my next reset scheduled for July 19 . On July 15 , my usage was reset to 100% , but my next weekly reset was also pushed back to July 21 .”

“I would like to report three distinct issues. Codex usage reset I am confident that this issue is reproducible. Whenever an official Codex usage reset is applied while an account is actively using Codex and consuming quota, that account does not appear to receive the reset. Based on my observations, this affects multiple users, not merely my own account.”

“I’m hoping to hear from anyone who has had a similar experience. I’m a ChatGPT Plus subscriber, and for the past few weeks I’ve been trying to resolve an ongoing support issue through the official support process. During that time I’ve repeatedly been told that my case has been escalated to a support specialist and that I should expect a response by email. I’ve now received that same escalation message several times, but I still don’t know whether my complaint has actually been reviewed by a person.”

“Hello, I am trying to log into my workspace, but keep getting hit with the deactivated greyed out page. I am the business owner of the workspace. The support bot on the help page told me to log into my personal account and then toggle to the business account, but that isn’t possible either. I am unable to move past the greyed out page. I can not get to the billing page as it just bounces me back to the deactivated page. I submitted a Case Number: 07264448”

"Chatgpt has become unusable for the last few days I've been having constant problems especially with projects."
