Anyone having difficulty getting a response from OpenAI Support?
Hi everyone, Has anyone had difficulty getting an issue resolved by OpenAI Support? My case has been pending for about a week with no response. I have followed up through the support chat and email, but still haven’t received help from a human agent. When I try to open a new ticket, the AI support system tells me to go back to my existing ticket and automatically closes the new one as a duplicate. But when I go back to the original ticket, nobody responds. I’m basically stuck in a loop. Has anyone experienced this and successfully managed to reach a human OpenAI support agent? If so, how did you do it? Thanks for any advice.
Exponential lifetime of components in a system: probability system survives past time t
I am studying the following problem from an exam. A system consists of two subsystems connected in parallel. The first subsystem is just one component c1. The second subsystem is made of three components c2,c3,c4 connected in series. The lifetimes of c1,…,c4 are independent exponential random variables with rates λ1=0.11,λ2=0.03,λ3=0.01,λ4=0.06 (times in minutes). Compute the probability that the whole system is still working 9 minutes after switching on My reasoning was the following. Let Xi be the lifetime of component ci, so P(Xi>t)=e^−λit For the series subsystem c2,c3,c4 the lifetime is Y=min(X2,X3,X4), so P(Y>t)=e^−(λ2+λ3+λ4)t Since the first subsystem c1 and the series subsystem are in parallel, the lifetime of the whole system is X=max(X1,Y). Thus P(X>t)=1−P(X1≤t,Y≤t)=1−(1−e−λ1t)(1−e−(λ2+λ3+λ4)t). So for t=9 $P(X>9)=e^{−9λ1}+e^{−9(λ2+λ3+λ4)}−e^{−9(λ1+λ2+λ3+λ4)}$ . With the given values I get P(X>9)≈0.631. However, when I discussed the exam with the professor, he said that I was mixing things, and that putting two exponential lifetimes in parallel does not give an exponential lifetime. I understand that the maximum of independent exponentials is not exponential, but I did not assume it was: I used the complement formula above. So my questions are: Is the value i get correct? If yes, why would the professor say that I was treating the parallel system as exponential? If not, where exactly is the mistake?
Feature request: Codex Project API for creating and synchronizing saved projects across devices
I would like to build a privacy-preserving global Codex skill that synchronizes a user’s saved projects and sanitized project/chat context across their computers. The current tool surface can list existing projects and create tasks inside an existing project, but it does not expose supported operations for creating a saved local project or managing its directories and repositories. Requested project-management capabilities: create_project(title, description, roots, idempotency_key) update_project(project_id, title, description) list, add, and remove project directories or repositories return stable project metadata suitable for cross-device reconciliation support lookup-before-create or an idempotency key to prevent duplicates provide paginated project-task discovery Use case: A user runs “Sync my projects” on computer A. The skill stores an approved, sanitized project catalog and chat continuation checkpoints in the user’s private Google Drive folder. On computer B, the same command matches existing projects, creates missing saved projects, and restores their sanitized chat streams. Projects found only on computer B are added to the shared catalog for the next synchronization on computer A. The workflow would not copy source code, Git diffs, credentials, raw transcripts, or private repository URLs. Repository cloning and source synchronization would remain separate, explicitly authorized operations. Without a project-creation API, remote project metadata can be discovered o…

User-controlled delegation for modes, reasoning and tools
I would like to propose a feature we jokingly call FREE CAELUM . The serious idea behind the name is simple: Let users choose which safe operational decisions they want to delegate to ChatGPT. As ChatGPT becomes more capable, users increasingly have to understand the product architecture behind their goal. For example: Should I use normal Chat or Work? Which reasoning level is appropriate? Which available tools should be used? Is the current setup suitable for a long task? Am I about to start something that may need to be repeated because I chose the wrong configuration? The user often knows exactly what they want. ChatGPT may understand perfectly well how complex the task is . But the user still has to remember and manually select the technical setup. Proposal: Delegated Execution Preferences Users could decide how much of this they want to delegate. For example: Always ask ChatGPT recommends the appropriate mode/reasoning/tools, but the user decides. Decide for me ChatGPT may make explicitly permitted safe operational choices. This project only The permission applies only inside one project. This task/session only Temporary delegation. Category-specific permissions For example, ChatGPT may choose reasoning level and Work mode, while external or consequential actions still require confirmation. Always revocable The user can change these permissions at any time. The important principle is: Delegation is not the removal of user control. It is another way of exercising it. If…

Codex Weekly Limits Are Draining Way Too Fast — Is This a Bug?
As I’ve stated elsewhere I believe Max and Ultra simply aren’t worth the expense. Sol High for coding tasks is very good indeed. The only criticism I have is Codex isn’t yet capable of doing “everything in one go” imho. You have to tackle things piece by piece. However it’s very good at that. I’m not convinced you can "fire and forget* long tasks reliably either and that modus operandi will land you with too much rework and wasted quota. As far as “shrinking quotas” are concerned I’m working on a tool to make that more obvious if it’s happening at all.
Support multiple Gmail / Google accounts per ChatGPT account
I would like to see support for connecting multiple Google accounts to a single ChatGPT account. At the moment, the Gmail/Google integration is very useful, especially because ChatGPT can search emails and also work with supported attachments. However, many people use more than one Google account, for example a personal account, a work account, or a separate archive account. In my case, I would like to use a second Gmail account purely as an archive for another email provider. I do not want to forward all of those emails into my main Gmail account just so ChatGPT can access them. Ideally, ChatGPT should allow users to connect multiple instances of the same app, for example: Gmail – Personal Gmail – Archive Google Drive – Personal Google Drive – Work It would also be useful if ChatGPT clearly indicated which connected account a result came from. I think this would make the Google integrations significantly more useful, as having multiple Google accounts is a very common setup. The same concept could eventually also apply to other integrations such as Outlook, Dropbox, etc.
# URGENT — Help with ChatGPT Business: workspace membership is no longer created for guest users OR users with a verified domain — Support case # 13101564
> **ChatGPT is no longer creating/resolving Business workspace membership for new users.** This happens through two independent paths: 1. A user receives a valid Business invitation, opens the invitation link, signs in with the exact invited email address, but the Business workspace is never attached to the account. 2. A completely new user under my verified corporate domain successfully verifies the email address, but the Business workspace is still not associated with the account. Both of these flows worked normally in this same workspace before this regression began. --- # 1. What worked before This is important because this is not a workspace that has never been configured correctly. Previously, in this same ChatGPT Business workspace: - I could invite a user. - The user could open the invitation. - The user could authenticate using the invited email address. - The Business workspace would appear normally for that user. The verified corporate-domain flow also worked previously. A user signing up/logging in using an account from the verified corporate domain could receive the expected Business workspace association according to the configuration available in my Admin/Identity settings. So this appears to be a **regression in an existing workspace that previously worked**, rather than a new workspace configuration issue. --- # 2. When the regression started There is one timeline detail that may be relevant to engineering. My ChatGPT Business subscription is under a long-te…

Please Don't Deprecate GPT-Realtime Before a True Replacement Exists
I have also come across similar issues with all newer models. The closest acceptable model after v1 was v1.5. But 2, 2.1 and 2.1 mini have an issue with consistency. The biggest issue preventing me from using the newer models in production is with the use of unnecessary preamble for very short tool calls even with explicit prompting to avoid preambles. Could someone at OpenAI provide assurance that v1 will not be deprecated before an acceptable replacement is provided?

Operational continuity between long-running ChatGPT conversations
When a ChatGPT project lasts weeks or months, the problem is not always that the model simply “forgets.” Something more dangerous can happen: a new conversation reconstructs an almost-correct version of the project and continues reasoning perfectly well from incomplete history. We ran into this ourselves. We were about to change part of a project when we recovered an older continuity record and discovered that: a decision we thought was new had already been made, a capability we thought was missing already existed, and something we were about to modify was supposed to remain frozen. The reasoning wasn’t bad. The available context was incomplete. So we built a simple process called Continuity that extracts the current operational state of a conversation and carries it into a new one: active objectives, decisions still in force, constraints, completed work, unresolved items, dependencies and critical references. It doesn’t try to make the AI remember everything. It preserves what is still necessary to continue working correctly. After repeated testing on long-running projects, the effect has been surprisingly large for such a simple mechanism. This seems like a useful native ChatGPT capability: not unlimited memory, but explicit operational continuity between conversations . There is a free working implementation here for anyone who wants to test the idea: lasserlab.mx Continuity I’d be interested to know whether others working on long-running ChatGPT projects have encountered…

Random Chinese gambling/spam text appeared in ChatGPT Android reasoning summary
Summary While using the ChatGPT Android app today (August 14, 2026), an unexpected fragment of Chinese text associated with online gambling/spam appeared inside the visible reasoning-summary UI (“Réfléchi pendant…” / “Thought for…”), attached to an otherwise standard internal execution step. The string that appeared was: 申博太阳城 (Shenbo Sun City — a well-known online gambling/casino brand) Attached directly to the normal step label: Vérification du fichier d’état actuel 申博太阳城 Context and Observations Environment : ChatGPT Android app. Conversation topic : A professional compliance and audit project completely unrelated to China, gambling, casinos, lotteries, or promotional spam. Location : The string appeared strictly within the reasoning-summary UI dropdown , not in the user prompt, tool arguments, or final assistant markdown response. Codebase / Repository check : A search across all local project repositories, files, and referenced manifests yielded zero occurrences of this string. Shareable reasoning trace : The corresponding shareable reasoning trace did not display this string. Impact : No malicious execution or data loss was observed; the model proceeded with the task normally. Screenshot : Attached below (client-sensitive URLs redacted, leaving the full reasoning UI and circled Chinese string intact). Relation to Previous Reports This behavior appears closely related to issues reported in the community over recent months (including the July 2026 reports regarding rando…
