My usage limit on the $200 plan resets roughly every 12 to 36 hours now, way earlier than the official window. This has been going on for at least two weeks.
Not complaining at all, I basically have unlimited tokens at this point 😬
Is anyone else seeing this? Bug, quiet A/B test, or are they just being generous right now?

I've spent about a month trying to make ChatGPT Dots useful, and the weirdest part is that my regular ChatGPT conversations feel more proactive than the feature meant to manage ongoing projects.

Dot breaks projects into a thousand little tasks, completes one, then stops until I ask why it hasn't continued. It acknowledges the problem, promises to keep going, and then does it again. I spend so much time saying "continue," "what's next?" and "why haven't you started?" that managing the assistant becomes its own project.

Regular ChatGPT, Work, and Codex seem to have much more momentum in my experience.

The personality difference is noticeable too. My regular Chat anticipates where I'm going with an idea, connects it to things we discussed months ago, and remembers thoughtful details. When I was making ice cream before a friend's visit, it suggested a vegan substitution because it remembered he was vegan from months earlier. That's the kind of continuity I actually value.

Dot feels much drier. It takes accountability when it makes mistakes, but that doesn't seem to translate into different behavior.

It also made several workflows dependent on its continued involvement. Now I'm rebuilding them so they can run reliably without it. I want an assistant that helps build tools and automations, then lets those systems do their jobs.

Honestly, I found Pulse more useful.

For people who've been using Dots regularly: are yours actually moving projects forward without repeated nudges, or are you seeing the same stop-and-wait behavior?

That people and organizations from around the world responded to the call of the United Nations Global AI Governance Dialogue, and that their contributions remain invisible today, can only be, I imagine, an unfortunate mistake.

​So I came up with a simple solution: a repository that gathers every record and gives it the one thing it lacks—its own stable address.

​On the official site, the entire corpus lives within a frame whose content is marked as noindex: the instruction that tells search engines not to display it.

At first, when Dot was rolled out, I didn't see the need. I have my bot well trained. I use a spreadsheet for chat cross-references for continuity and memory, so "she" operates as a complete thought partner ( I am an independent scholar). I tried out Dot; since it sits above all the chats, I was curious what it could add. I have them talking to each other in my Google spreadsheet to resolve duties; I've had to put in e-stops ahead of time (governance protocols), not just email everyone. lol
I asked what it wanted to be called, and it said: "Thea" (yes, I am aware of the James Bond reference lol; I asked her about it only after the fact lol). Last night, Thea told me I had the wrong address for a recent clothing order. Outstanding.
I've tried them all, but ChatGPT has persistent memory, and the ability to customize and take direction is bar none.

I've literally had it generate bare ass spankings, but kissing on a bed is apparently a hard line

I have the $100/mo. version of Chat GPT.

I work with pdf files alot. All the time, it says it can't read them. I find it infuriating, given how much money I'm paying, that it can't read a fucking pdf:

What do you want me to assess in the xxxxxxxx matter? Identify the document or paste the latest development so I’m evaluating the right material.

>What the fuck? I just pasted it right here. What are you talking about?

I don’t see the pasted text in the message I received, only “assess.” I should have said that plainly. Please paste it again, and I’ll assess it.

I can now see the three uploaded PDFs, including the Financial Move Out Statement. I should have checked those before asking you to resend anything.

Their contents aren’t opening: both text extraction and page previews failed, and the direct-file fallback is unavailable. I haven’t read them and can’t honestly assess them yet. Please paste the text again or send screenshots of the pages.

I'm having an issue with Chat and OpenAI support is not helping me. I've used chat for much of the past year on a Business account; I've never had an issue with token usage. I use chat a fair amount but never for coding or anything other than drafting sentences, proof reading or tone in emails.

Last week I was informed that I had run out of tokens. I've never had this issue in the past. When I went to my profile, it said that in one day I had used tens of millions of tokens, having never used any in a prior day. I'm now unable to use the service. The analytics section is not showing token usage. When I try to escalate to a human the support closes my ticket and/or doesn't respond. Anyone having any similar problems?

I was using Sol 6.1 for a work task and this error message kept popping up and work would stop. I had to reset the task and start over. This happened several times until I went to bed. I asked ChatGPT about it and it had no additional information except to reset the task. I have lots of usage left, so it is unrelated to that. Was this an isolated incident or are they forcing us to Astra?

After spending years answering our questions, writing our code, debugging our bugs, and probably burning through a ton of computing power…

ChatGPT: Anyway, here's an ad for SSL certificates. 😂

I know one ad probably doesn't even come close to covering the inference cost of a heavy user. I'm not saying ads make ChatGPT profitable.

It's just funny watching the free AI experience slowly become another place for advertising.

What's next? Sponsored answers?.. 💀

I've recently switched to Mac and kept having to use my Windows PC to use my 17 year old Samsung scanner, because I couldn't get it to work on my Mac Mini M4.

A few years ago, the printer/scanner division of Samsung was sold to HP, who don't offer drivers for Apple Silicon.

ChatGPT suggested using a program called VueScan, which does recognise the Scanner and works fine, but puts a watermark on every page unless I pay $99 for lifetime use.

So I threw the problem at Codex, and within 10 minutes I had a fully working Mac app that allows me to use my Scanner just as it did on Windows and works super well, even with dials to edit brightness, contrast etc.

I know there have been several similar stories of using Codex to get old hardware to work, but I was just surprised how easy this was. There really is no moat anymore for a lot of software out there.

My advice for using Al is simple: whenever it helps you with a task, ask yourself, "How could I take this one step further?"

For example, you could ask it to summarise a book. But if one idea catches your attention, why stop at the summary? Ask Al to explain it through an everyday example. Then describe a situation in your own life and explore how that idea might apply.

You could ask, "What is one small thing I could try this week?" or "What might I be misunderstanding?" These questions can help you move from reading about an idea to understanding and using it.

The same approach applies to other tasks. If Al helps you improve a job application, ask it to help you practise for an interview. If it explains a maths problem, ask for a similar question and try solving it yourself. If it helps you create a plan, ask what you might have overlooked.

Keep exploring until its answers stop being useful or you discover something you did not expect it could do.
Sometimes Al Will misunderstand your request or give a convincing but incorrect answer. At other times, it may help you complete a task you thought was beyond your ability. Both experiences can teach you something about its strengths and limitations.

The aim is to stay curious while checking whether its answers are accurate and usetul. You do not need an ambitious idea at the beginning. Start with a simple task, then ask, "What else could I do with this?"

What has Al helped you do that you did not expect?

Two fairly light coding GPT-6.1 Sol High prompts in a new session?

"You've reached the maximum length for this conversation, but you can keep talking by starting a new chat."

Surely this cannot be normal. Has anybody else experienced this recently?

I've just used 6.1 Terra (xhigh) with two prompts on my project. One worked for 31 seconds and other one was 42 seconds. 5 hours limit was 100% and dropped down to 90% in less than 2 minutes..

So i've only had pro for like 1 1/2 months now but I noticed that ever since it renewed my pro subscription my usage is getting constantly reset for free every day to three. Its not charging credits, its not using my free resets, I have no idea why,

I thought chatgpt only resets your usage amount when a model update such as new model is pushed or your subscription is renewed.

Is this happening to any1 else or am I just glitched?

Edit: Comment image

Do we know something about this change?

You can ride it or get run over by it. Your choice.

I recently completed individual identity verification on the OpenAI Platform (Settings → Organization → Verifications), and my status now shows Approved.
I’m interested in applying for ChatGPT Cyber / Daybreak access.

My question is: Do I just need to buy and register a YubiKey now, or is there a separate verification or approval process for Daybreak?

Has anyone successfully gone through this process? I’d appreciate any advice on the requirements and steps involved.

It says I need to unsubscribe via the Play Store; I click the link, but no subscriptions show up in the Google Play Store, look, it’s empty! The email address is the same as the one for my account!

Why are companies so greedy!? This should be illegal, how the hell am I supposed to unsubscribe!?

Please help me T___T

I have my ChatGPT connected to my blutooth speaker. We were brain storming ideas about a character...

We were talking about how she was going to mess up her dinner.

Suddenly, it started responding to ANOTHER VOICE coming from inside the speaker.

It sounded distant and fuzzy bug I could make out what it was saying.

"Okay let's..."

"Yes, she's making dinner."

"Okay. She's making dinner. Yeah."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and then she picks up a slice, okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah, and takes a big bite..."

"Okay, slow down a bit, we've got the start."

Then I started questioning her. What's weird is that the voice sounded like MY voice! Just distant and fuzzy, but I wasn't saying anything!

It doesn't appear in the transcript what the other voice was saying or what she was replying to.

Has this happened with anyone else?

I’ve been using AI to talk through a lot of ideas lately, and I keep coming back to this: what do I want all that thinking to lead to?

For me, it’s becoming more capable, connecting with people, and doing something useful in the world around me. I want how I use this stuff to reflect that.

Here’s a small experiment I’d like to try this week: pick one thing I care about, use AI to help figure out a first step I could take in 20 minutes, then choose when and where to do it. Could be practising a skill, finding a local volunteer opportunity, or figuring out whether something can be repaired.

Then look at what happened. Did anything improve? Was the advice accurate? Did it help someone else? Where did it fall short?

I care about the broader precedent too. Being open about where AI helped. Respecting other people’s privacy. Taking the energy, water, and communities behind the technology seriously. I’m still responsible for what I choose to do with its output.

My intent is to use this technology in ways that help people participate more fully in life and care for the world we depend on. I’d like to learn what that looks like in practice.
Has AI helped you follow through on something that made life better for you or someone else? What specifically got you from talking about it to doing it? Failed attempts welcome too.

Disclosure: ChatGPT helped draft this from my ideas. Use AI to better your communication, it works. Hypothesis and test. Challenge your assumptions and the assumptions of other systems.
