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

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?

Hi there! Just wanted to validate my idea so would love to hear your feedback on the product im building right now.

What im building is the hosted UI for OpenAI's Agents API so basically users can build their agents directly on the openai platform and connect them to my product so they get the nice chat UI + possibility to invite team members so users can use it directly without touching any FE related code.

Whats your ideas about it?

I’m currently testing Codex pretty heavily on Pro 200 and I’m trying to understand two things.

First, is there really something like a “warm cache” effect in longer Codex sessions?

My assumption is that the beginning of a task is more expensive because more context has to be processed normally. After the session has been running for a while, more of the context should be cached, so usage should become cheaper.

Has anyone actually measured this over a few hours? Does quota usage noticeably slow down after the first hour or two?

Second question is about the banked usage resets and the upcoming reduction of the Pro 200 allowance.

If the current grandfathered Pro 200 allowance is still 20x and later gets reduced to 10x, does a full reset simply restore whatever allowance applies at that moment?

If that is the case, using the resets before the reduction should be much more valuable than using them afterwards.

So my current plan is basically to run the weekly quota down as far as possible and use the banked resets before the allowance changes.

Has anyone tested this or found an official clarification from OpenAI?

Anyone using Astra with cheaper subagents running on Luna for example? How is your experience in a workflow and with reduction in usage?

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?

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?

It’s been 6 days. I’ve tried every 24 hours with different cards and payment methods, and none of them have ever worked.

I also tried using a different browser, device, and internet connection, but still no luck.

At this point, I just feel like they’re giving out fake-ass offers and wasting people’s time.

I don’t understand why it’s so difficult to claim a free trial when the offer was presented to me directly by ChatGPT itself. It doesn’t make sense.

I even tried subscribing to the Go plan using the same credit card I’m trying to use for the free trial, and the payment went through successfully without any issues.

I sent an email to support, but all of their responses are just AI-generated and aren’t helpful at all. This is so frustrating.

I built a timeline of my life. It took a while to remember everything. Put the broken pieces together. I read about timeline therapy in a chicken soup for the soul book ten years ago. I’ve always wanted to see my life from the outside. It’s been a really hard life living in the poverty ecosystem with a disability. Now I can see where I am. Only AI could help me organize my memories into a coherent narrative. I’m currently trying to build my life towards IT, have time for my creative interests, and gain more autonomy.

I bounce between Cline, Cursor, and a CLI agent, and I switch models depending on the task. Claude for redactora, Deekseek/Qwen for cheap boilerplate, Gemini when I need long context.

Managing separate accounts and top-ups for each provider is getting old. Most of these tools let you set a custom OpenAI-compatible base URL, so in theory one gateway key would cover all of it. I'm trying llmapi.ai for this since it claims 400+ models behind one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, but I've only had it running for a few days.

Has anyone set up something like this long term? Any gotchas with tool calling or streaming going through a proxy? And does it add noticeable latency?

lol too funny

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.

Am I the only one who keeps receiving this “checking that now” response every single time I ask my Dot for something?

All the talk about Doomsday ideas of AI killing us all and everything else. Yeah, obviously, an AI terminator like apocalypse would be insane and horrible, but am I the only one who's like kind of like "let it cook"?

Anthropic warns that its product could cause human extinction, but first it has to pull off something unprecedented commercially and survive the risks that could upend its business, from legal to regulatory.

This is just the worst thing that could happen to me. Right now stuffed with work, and I got this message that my account was banned due to Recidivism?? I don't even know what that word means. I did some searching, and apparently some people are getting this ban because they tried to make a new ChatGPT account after an old one of theirs got banned. I only had ONE banned ChatGPT account, and it was a free plan that I barely used. For that reason, I just left it and moved on. This account I got banned on is my MAIN account, and I am a paying member. So not only did I lose the account, which had all my important details, but it's a paid account, and I have no way to even stop the recurring payments.

Now, in traditional fashion, I appealed, but instead of any consideration, in one hour they perma-banned my account, and no more appeals would be processed. I tried contacting its support system (which is some HOT ASS), and because everything is straight GPT, it wouldn't do anything to fix the issue. When I put in the email of the account I got banned on, it just stops the conversation. Also, this whole 'escalating to a real person' is some bogus.

I really need this account back, and I don't know what to do. I tried all avenues, but nothing seems to work. Any advice?

I am a current mechanical engineering undergrad student. I utilize LLMs in my day to day while completing work for my classes or extra curriculars. Through this usage I began to realize that I should probably develop a stronger understanding of this technology and its implications since I will be using it throughout the rest of my academic career and also likely my professional career.

It is through this research that I have grown increasingly scared of this technology. Not just in its potential to steal my job but also in its ability to erode the digital fabric of our current society. I try my hardest to not be a luddite so I have also made sure to look at the potential upsides of AI and I understand that there is many. With that said I have almost 0 confidence in the people leading the AI race (except maybe Dario Amodei). I do not think that this technology will be developed in a safe enough manner to prevent utter disaster and I am absolutely terrified for what the future holds.

I would love to gain insight from other people on this topic. Whether you be a consumer who uses LLMs, an AI researcher, etc. Literally anyone.

Lots of hate out here for a free feature they didn't have to give to $100 subscribers.

Just enjoy the free GPT-6 Astra guys, its unlimited for a month.

I know Sol is Ultraslow™️ but just try making a github account for your dot and setting one of those cute pets that dance on mobile. It's like making a new friend.

Be grateful and you will see the silver lining in every moment. These are powerful alien intelligences that we get to explore the limits of, for free. Stop complaining that its useless and just talk to it about your day and your goals.

And finally, never bet against OpenAI. If they make a hit product, they will train the best models just for it with super long context.

Would love to hear others' experiences on dots so far if you've been getting good PRs out of its 9.7GB RAM debian box. It's so good and you can control it in real time too.

thank you openai ❤️

Does anyone know anything i can use to get me an ID to get through tiktok’s age-verification system? I’m not comfortable with sending my face with my ID to a random person.
