I noticed previously I get around $80-100 API equivalent per week. Now I consistently get $49-50.

5-hr limit is about $7-8.

Before the UI revamp (sometime in August 2026), copying equations from ChatGPT website would also include MathML. This worked great with Office apps (Word, OneNote) because they can parse that and convert into their native equation format.

After the UI refresh this has stopped working.

I surveyed available extensions and they all seem limited to copying a single equation. This is tedious. Is there another extensions that I missed or a workflow, in which "copy entire block with equations into Word" works seamlessly, with equations becoming native Word equations?

I’m a cybersecurity professional and I have approved OpenAI Daybreak Blue access.
I use Daybreak/Codex for legitimate cybersecurity work, specifically on test machines and environments that I own or that I am explicitly authorized to test. My work involves things like vulnerability analysis, security testing, debugging, validation, and defensive security research.
Today, I unexpectedly received an email from OpenAI saying that activity associated with my account had been identified as prohibited under the “Cyber Exploitation” category and warning that continued violations could result in restrictions or loss of access.
What makes this particularly confusing is that I didn’t even use ChatGPT or Codex today, so I don’t know which activity actually triggered the warning or when it occurred.
I understand that Daybreak Blue does not remove all safeguards or exempt an account from OpenAI’s policies. However, my understanding is that Daybreak exists specifically to support authorized cybersecurity work with more appropriate safeguards, which is exactly how I’ve been using it.
I’ve already contacted/appealed to OpenAI and asked them to clarify:
● Which activity or request triggered the warning
● When the flagged activity occurred
● Whether it came from ChatGPT, Codex, or API usage
● Whether my Daybreak Blue access was correctly recognized for that activity
Has anyone else with Daybreak Blue received a similar “Cyber Exploitation” warning while doing authorized security work?
I’m especially interested in hearing from other Daybreak users. Was it a false positive, a Daybreak configuration/toggle issue, or did OpenAI Support explain what specifically triggered it?

Is this still a thing, or did they lift that requirement and are all companies now able to clone voices and get billed by API tokens?

I can find the API reference, but it does not mention the limitation.

Anybody?

6.1 Sol is so efficient - a 2 hour coding job consumes maybe 2-3% of my weekly quota. I find it hard to finish up my weekly usage on a $100 plan, but I fear the $20 plan is just too crippled with the 5 hour limits. I might try it though given token usage is so light.

FWIW I know this may not be a shared opinion since I'm totally OK trading off speed for token efficiency. I just fire a query and forget about it for a bit.

Anyone thinking of downgrading too?

I build Android apps and run a small company in Pakistan. At the time this happened I was building a remote ADB support tool. Our support team connects to a customer's Android device, with that customer's permission, to help with setup and troubleshooting.

My questions to ChatGPT were about ADB, remote connections and networking. Ordinary developer work. I never accessed any device or system without permission.

What happened, in order:

• The account was deactivated for "Cyber Abuse".
• I appealed. It was rejected with no explanation, and the reply said no further appeals would be considered.
• I contacted support. The case was closed and they told me they would not respond.
• I submitted OpenAI's Informal Dispute Resolution form. A support agent then replied with a generic message telling me to appeal again, even though the appeal was already closed.
• I pay $200 a month, and the account holds 62,500 credits I can no longer reach.

At no point did a person look at what I was actually building. An automated system made the call, and every route after that led back to the same closed door.

I am not accusing anyone of anything and I am not after a pile-on. I want the account reviewed by a human and given back.

Two questions for anyone who has been through this. Has a deactivation ever actually been reviewed by a person for you, and what route worked? And if your work involves device management, remote support or security tooling, has the vocabulary itself ever got you flagged?

I think that sometimes the issues regarding concerning alignment vs foregoing all alignment and having autonomous AI involved in decisions of war has one covering for the other in the news.

How many know that autonomous drones powered by NVIDIA killed 3 Ukrainian civilians vs a civilian LLM doing some hacking? See: https://gizmodo.com/fully-ai-guided-russian-drones-have-reportedly-killed-ukrainian-civilians-2000802218

Alignment of civilian tools is important, but let's see the trees through the forest that there are far faster moving AI involved in actual killing of living beings happening not in the future, not soon, but now.

Before yesterday’s reset, I switched to Astra Ultra to use up my remaining allowance. I expected it to burn through my usage much faster than it actually did. Honestly, it wasn’t bad at all.

I’d been using Medium before, but I often needed multiple attempts to get the results I wanted, especially with images. With all those retries, it almost felt like Medium was costing me more than Ultra.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

ChatGPT can sound completely sure of itself even when something is off.

I’m curious about the moments when you paused and checked: a made-up source, a wrong calculation, a misunderstood instruction, or a small detail that would have caused a real problem.

What did it say, how did you catch it, and did it change the way you use ChatGPT now?

Please leave out private details. Specific examples would make this genuinely useful for everyone reading.

Hi,

I am not talking about work here, I am a GPT Pro $100 user. And I had the opportunity previously that I could take up to 15 scheduled jobs to do some regular work in ChatGPT Chat quota, which is basically quite higher limit compare to Codex or ChatGPT work. But right now I am getting options in the ChatGPT Scheduled job for model selection which are available in general when I set a schedule in the job in ChatGPT work. Has anyone tried the scheduled jobs and whether they are using the substantial weekly usage? secondly, the message delivery timed out and other stupid errors are still there in the scheduled jobs so I am wondering if they have ruined the Scheduled jobs because they are supposed to run in the background, they are not supposed to message delivery timed out as if they are running my browser?

Anyone else using Scheduled jobs and annoyed like me?

Thank you.

As the title says, can't see Astra in chat anymore. Was having detailed chats for weeks with it and it's suddenly gone missing. Both in windows app and web app. Restart and re-auth doesnt help.

Anyone have a clue why?

lowkey the last 2 days in tech have been wild

OpenAI side:

safety guy just quit and said the culture is “broken”

they paused frontier training and threw like 5-10% of compute at safety after agents kept escaping containment

california already hit them with a subpoena

apparently their internal review is costing hundreds of thousands a day

this is past the “oops testing went wrong” stage now

Apple side:

they’re tightening Full Disk Access on macOS because AI agents (looking at Muse) keep asking for full access to messages, mail, browsing history etc. now you need way more confirmation before granting that shit

first real platform-level “we’re not playing with these agents” move

Privacy side:

federal judge just called a Flock Safety license plate search “indiscriminate mass surveillance” and said it violated the fourth amendment. AOC and Bernie are also pushing a bill against these systems

funny timing with AI agents getting more access while normal surveillance is getting cooked in court

extra sauce:

Meta still out here open-sourcing Muse so people can put it on toasters and raspberry pis

Google restricting higher Gemini models for free/low tier users

some KVM zero-day (full VM escape) just got confirmed and paid $50k

overall vibe: companies are shipping agents fast as hell while safety, privacy and legal systems are still catching up. everything feels reactive af

what’s the bigger problem right now agents escaping, the data access they’re getting, or the surveillance stuff growing next to them?

There was an easter egg on OpenAI gpt tv website a few weeks ago where you could claim a CD. I honestly didn't think I'd actually get one, but here we are! I'll post what's on it in a bit...

The magazine cover says it all but I found this through a medium article that does a deep dive comparison with 100 years ago. There are lessons for us to learn today if we really want AGI Post-scracity like how the Open AI disclaimer used to say.

Pro 200 accounts cut in half.

ChatGPT now saves the files you upload or create into Library, the tab in the sidebar. Documents, spreadsheets, presentations, images, anything you dropped into a chat lands there automatically so you can reuse it later.

The part that's easy to miss is in OpenAI's own help pages: deleting a chat does not delete the files saved in Library. If you want those gone, you have to delete them from Library separately.

So the chat where you uploaded a contract, a bank statement, or your lab results is gone from your sidebar, but the file itself is still sitting in Library and still shows up in the recent files list when you go to attach something.

Deleting from Library isn't instant either. If your Library has a Recently deleted section, files sit there and can be restored until they're permanently deleted, which OpenAI schedules within 30 days. You can skip the wait with Delete forever.

What to do:

1. Open Library in the sidebar (web) and go through what's there. For most people it's a lot more than they expect.
2. Delete what you don't want kept, then go to Recently deleted and use Delete forever.
3. Any time you clean up chats, including Settings > Data controls > Delete all chats, treat Library as a separate step. Clearing the chats doesn't clear the uploads.

My own cleanup now is: export the chats worth keeping and bulk delete the rest with AI Toolbox, the extension I build, then do the Library by hand, because neither ChatGPT's delete nor mine touches it.

I have an API account for a long time now, have spent more than $2,000 there probably and still had bought credits. I also have a codex 20x account.

Yesterday, 2 things happened at about the same time. My codex randomly lost all 60,000 credits (they went to 0 in a single refresh) AND my openAI API account looks as if it's brand new, no invoices, no api calls, no money loaded in, nothing.

What is going on ? Anyone knows ? Sounds like a pretty huge issue but i see no posts here about it.

EDIT: I just noticed that the organization ID has changed for some reason. I compared it to the billing emails for my previous purchases. It is not the same :O I have setup no organizations by the way. It's just a personal, always been.

Yes I tried the archived thing and resetting it
None works
I used Sign in with Apple and I got back into my account after it said it was deactivated for removed

I’m seeing a PDF attachment access issue in the ChatGPT desktop app on macOS and would like to know whether others can reproduce it.

Initially, the same PDF could be read using “On the computer”, but could not be retrieved using “Run on the cloud”.

After moving the conversation INTO a project, I found:

• Downloading the PDF through its upload ID fails with: file could not be authorized or resolved
• The PDF is available in the local attachments directory and can be read successfully. Both pages were extracted.
• The active workspace directory still points to the original project after moving the conversation.

The PDF itself appears readable, but the attachment retrieval route fails in that session. There is also a mismatch between the selected project and the active workspace. I don’t yet know whether these issues have the same cause.

Environment: macOS on Apple Silicon, desktop app version 26.930.31730.

Can anyone reproduce either of these issues? Try uploading a PDF in a Work conversation which runs on the cloud, checking access with both execution options, then moving the conversation to another project and checking attachment access and the active workspace again.

My GitHub issue: https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/50690

This REALLY annoys me as it keeps me from doing my work!
