Have you recently upgraded to Pro? There might be a slight lag.

If you log out and log back in, that may fix it for you.

I can use this an hour ago. Now, I can't.

{"detail":"The 'gpt-5.3-codex-spark' model is not supported when using Codex with a ChatGPT account."}

And I tried logout and login again.

Something wrong with the upstream API.

I used this all morning without changing anything but now it doesn’t work.

Hmm, interesting.

Did you upgrade to 0.101.0 in the past hour? I'm wondering if this is potentially a regression in the new release.

acgxv · 5 months ago

It looks like the API is unstable??

It works again. In the same chat. I didn't change anything.

acgxv · 5 months ago

Completely the same chat (without any exit/resume).

It suddenly begins to work.

@aurexav, I see that you have a bunch of "under development" features enabled. We really do not recommend this! These are features that are not yet ready for use or support. Please disable these and see if that fixes the problem.

Ok, but the issue author dones't have any of those unstable features.

@etraut-openai Been Pro for a long time. It regressed after a little bit of usage after the upgrade. I upgraded, it regressed, but seems to be fine again now?

Is this supposed to work on business plans or only individual pro?

SHJordan · 5 months ago
