OpenAI Plus users report increasing instability and fragmentation

A long-time subscriber to OpenAI's Plus service is experiencing significant instability and fragmentation across ChatGPT's various interfaces and features. The user reports that the "work" agent consumes an excessive portion of the usage window, hindering reliable use of other tools like SOL and Astra. They also note inconsistencies in performance and UI across different platforms, including macOS, Android, and the web interface, as well as unpredictable behavior from custom GPTs. This degradation in dependability is causing anxiety for business workflows, prompting the user to consider alternatives like Gemini or Claude despite their own drawbacks. AI

IMPACT Degradation in ChatGPT's reliability may push users to explore competitor offerings like Gemini and Claude.
