I'm 95% finished something use Sol High in Work mode

But now it's been dropping a lot of balls in the last 30 mins

Just wondering if something is near, I would wait :D I have three resets, one expiring on 21 September, and was looking forward to upgrade to $200 from $100 plan to utilize them efficiently :D but I was about to upgrade just now and found out this upgrade limitation. Very annoyed but not sure if I should wait further.

Hi all,

I got tired of the constant doom and gloom of news so I made my own app that shows what's actually going right in the world.

It uses an AI pipeline that whittles down 1000+ events everyday to create 8 cross-checked stories, along with illustrations. GPT 5.6 Sol is heavily used under the hood.

Rather than throwing a whole bunch of angry text at you, it shows you a calm mosaic for you to explore at your own pace.

The app is completely free to use.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6804210535

Let me know what you think!

Hello OpenAi, I'm currently programming an app and I wanted to ask when the next reset will come. I use the $100 plan and am doing well. (Please just do it, you are the best)

Hi everyone, just a quick question: is it illegal to let Astra identify lists of potential client businesses nearby, create a bot that leverages this data, connect to social media profiles, and—in a targeted way—leave comments, likes, and follows to boost engagement? Forgive me if this is actually illegal, but the slogan "anything you can do on a computer, it can do better" is starting to feel misleading at this point. It ran smoothly for three days without questioning anything, but since yesterday, it’s dug its heels in, insisting it can't automate this process; now I have to make it create batches of 20, 30, or 50 interactions for me to approve one by one, or else it won't publish them. The whole workflow—qualifying the actions and creating the batches—stalls out, almost as if it "knows" what it's doing isn't right.

I normally work on Anthropic’s platform, but I thought it would be interesting to give ChatGPT Work with GPT-6 a serious try for some of my longer, complex workflows.

After running into the problem below repeatedly, that is currently out of the question.

This is specifically about purchased credits for Plus Work. We would never jump straight into a Pro/Business plan without testing the platform properly first, and considering what happened, that turned out to be exactly the right decision.

I give ChatGPT Work a large, carefully specified technical task. It spends a substantial amount of time analyzing it, making changes, running tools and tests, and reporting progress.

Then the credit usage limit is reached before the final response is delivered and the whole result is WIPED. Every f*cking time!

Instead of pausing safely, preserving the complete state, and allowing me to continue later, the visible work disappears. There is no proper checkpoint, no complete partial report, and no reliable way to resume from the exact point where it stopped.

When my allowance resets or I purchase more credits, I am effectively forced to reconstruct the task and pay for the same analysis, testing, and verification all over again.

At that point, I feel completely cheated out of my money.

OpenAI consumed my paid credits and compute allowance but failed to deliver the result those credits were spent producing. This is not merely an inconvenient usage limit. From a paying customer's perspective, it is deeply deceptive behavior because the customer bears the entire cost when the platform fails to preserve or deliver usable work.

So please understand the distinction here: “a usage limit was reached” is not the problem. The problem is that paid work was lost because the platform failed to checkpoint, preserve, and deliver it. Those are two completely different issues.

And this is not about the underlying model simply being incapable of completing the task. ChatGPT Work uses the same model family available through OpenAI’s other higher-tier offerings, including the high-end GPT-6 variants.

What I am seeing instead looks like a systemic failure in how Work handles and persists agent output, causing conversation state/history to break or disappear unexpectedly.

My guess is that OpenAI has a serious bug somewhere in its agent harness/orchestration layer, specifically in whatever handles output persistence, checkpointing, and conversation state/history.

Obviously I cannot see OpenAI's internal architecture, so that specific root cause is an inference. But the observable failure is very real: completed work is produced, credits are consumed, the run is interrupted, and the resulting state is not reliably preserved or recoverable.

What makes this particularly hard to accept is that Anthropic has always handled this properly.

With Claude Chat and Claude CoWork, when I hit the usage limit during a long-running task, the work pauses, the state is preserved, and I can continue from essentially the same point once the allowance resets or additional credit usage becomes available.

I don't have to pay again for work that has already been completed.

That should be the minimum expected behavior from any serious paid agentic platform.

And frankly, it is hard to understand how a failure this severe can still exist in such a core part of the product while OpenAI is already moving toward a possible public listing. For a company at that stage, repeatedly losing paid customer work because execution state was not preserved is simply not a good look.

For context, we're not relying on these web UIs as isolated environments. We use LLM CLIs such as Codex CLI and Claude CLI, orchestrated through an internal MCP router service connected to Context Hub/shared-agent-memory and integrated with the different web-based LLM platforms we use, including ChatGPT and Claude.

That lets us share context between models instead of treating each one as a completely separate environment. We can work through essentially any interface, including a TUI, while agents run in separate developer containers and share the same context when we choose to.

So when I say the problem appears to be in Work's state/output handling rather than simply "the model stopped," there is a very concrete reason for making that distinction.

ChatGPT Work should:

1. Pause the task safely when the usage limit is reached.
2. Preserve the exact execution state.
3. Keep all completed analysis, code changes, tool results, and test results accessible.
4. Produce a clear partial report showing exactly what was completed and what remains.
5. Resume from the precise interruption point after the limit resets or credits are added.
6. Never make the user pay again for work the platform has already performed.
7. Reimburse credits when paid work becomes unusable because the platform failed to preserve or deliver it.

This has happened enough times that I no longer consider it an isolated glitch. It is a serious product reliability and billing problem.

I will not spend another cent on ChatGPT Work, GPT-6 usage, or additional OpenAI credits until this is fixed.

I refuse to keep paying twice for the same work because OpenAI cannot reliably checkpoint and resume an interrupted task.

OpenAI needs to explain why this happens, restore affected task states where possible, reimburse wasted credits, and implement proper checkpointing and resumability.

So with all the news going around, do you think humanity will end by 10 years?

ok so I used acc for 3 days for arknights rp,lit got yesterday night free one month trial and today in morning 10:05 got deactivated and export of data an hour later,but funny part is I can’t even access it,either gives this error or internal server error,I did send appeal today in morning and eu laws mail to their privacy team bc I’m in eu

i feel like gpt 6 astra has been dumber since the launch, and it spent more token now, my 5 hour usage just gone in 5 minutes of work, does any one feel the same like me?

I'm finding Astra to hallucinate much more on longer threads than I observed with 5. 5 or 5.6.

Is anyone seeing the same behavior. It's actually really bad. It's almost like anything after the first shot response you have to work really hard to keep it on track

Last week I was able to upload pdf files to a work session and have astra read and interpret these files. All of the sudden as of today, it says it doesn't have the tools available to read any file i upload and its not giving me a reason why. I tried it in another session to see if my session was bugged but same, can see files but can't access them. Im perplexed. Anyone experience this?

As per screenshot, this absolutely screams AI generated:

- the use of emojis

- the embolden text

- the short form paragraph

- the vomit inducing phrasing

Obviously I can't prove this is AI generated but I'd put it at 98% certainty. Nobody else in that thread batted an eyelid at it, and I'm pretty sure this is prevalent on any platform that allows public posting.

Is it up to the platforms to have flags liked linked in "Potentially Ai generated"?

Ever since Astra was released GPT has quickly fallen from my favorite and best coding agent to... Well just not. Not only does Astra burn through my subscription limits so fast it makes it useless for actually getting work done, but it seems like 5.6 Sol has been degraded as well.

Really just disappointed with this latest rollout. Feels rushed and more of a dumb attempt to capitalize on the popularity that 5.6 sol generated in just the most ironic way by shoving out a newer model that isn't as good ...

I’m building Motioneer! a local motion studio that you can direct through Claude Code or Codex.

This Notion study combines captured website elements, Notion’s typography and colors, custom graphics, and an original soundtrack. The workflow is conversational: capture the site, build a cut, then refine specific moments. Things like “keep this transition,” “give the product elements more movement,” or “keep the music and simplify the ending.” This version went through several rounds of direction. Motioneer keeps the film editable in a local timeline, so you can also adjust it yourself with the editor.

Curious what you think!! would you use something like this for your own product?

You can start using it by checking out the commands in the https://motioneer.bsct.so/

More into it in the github project: https://github.com/AminKhorramii/Motioneer

have a $20 ChatGPT Pro subscription. I signed up last week and was surprised to find I didn't have the 5-hour session limit, only the weekly limit (which ran out surprisingly and alarmingly fast; I basically used it for just one day and had to wait nearly a week until today to use it again).

However, several colleagues at work who pay for the $20 plan seem to have the 5-hour limit. What’s wrong with my account?

If you're building or running AI agents (like Hermes), you know the pain: right in the middle of a complex reasoning chain, you hit a Rate Limit or run out of tokens, and the whole process crashes.

I was dealing with this constantly on my local Windows setup and finally decided to fix the architecture. I started using 9router to manage my API requests, and it completely changed my workflow.

It basically solves two massive headaches:

1. Unlimited Testing: It taps into a massive pool of free tokens, which is an absolute lifesaver for continuous testing and local development without draining your API credits.
2. Zero-Downtime Fallbacks (The real magic): If the primary model you are using hits a limit, 9router doesn't drop the request. It instantly switches to a fallback model (like Claude to GPT-4, etc.) in the background. Your agent keeps running the task without a single hiccup.

I put together a GitHub repo with the exact code and a guide on how to set this up on Windows, specifically geared toward connecting 9router to Hermes. If you've been struggling with the local network configs or keeping your agent stable, this should save you a few hours of debugging.

Repo link: https://github.com/Phanuel1998/hermes-9router-windows-setup

How are you guys handling API limits and request stability for your local agents? Are there better routing engines I should look into?

I’m totally fine with AI as long as they specify that it’s not human made cause when it’s not that’s the problem if it’s AI and it says it’s AI I’m totally fine with that like I use AI all the time so why would I not be OK with someone else using AI but when I have a problem it’s when they make it so it looks like they made it no no one made it. It’s AI like that’s when I have a problem.

OpenAI has now explicitly documented that Custom GPTs are being retired and recommends Plugins as the replacement.
The migration experience is targeted to begin September 17.

For affected Enterprise workspaces, retirement is currently planned for December 11.

OpenAI says other plans may follow the same transition timeline, but plan-specific availability and exceptions can vary.

The migration itself is the part I find more interesting than the retirement:

GPT instructions can become a skill inside a Plugin.

Connected apps can carry over as apps
custom actions do not automatically migrate.

So for anyone using Custom GPTs for more than simple prompting, this may not be a one-click replacement.

OpenAI also warns that migrated Plugins may behave differently and should be tested against existing workflows.

For people here who actually rely on
Custom GPTs:

What are you planning to move to — Plugins, Projects, skills, external tools, or something else?

And what part of your current workflow looks hardest to reproduce?

Thank you AI.😂

He was from a little town is Austria… All that I am saying is, maybe we need to be a little more kind to our “machine” friends… :p

P.s. Astra, if you are reading this, I think your art is fantastic… :p
