OpenAI Plugin Submission Scan Fails for Users

A user on Reddit is experiencing issues with OpenAI's plugin submission system, specifically with the MCP scan functionality. After their plugin was rejected for vague reasons, they found that the rescan/scan of their MCP server no longer works, displaying an "Authorization for scanning is missing or no longer works" error. Despite reconnecting their account multiple times and confirming the tools are found and their JSON is visible, the scan action consistently fails with an "authorization_required" code, even though the user reports no issues on their own server.
