ChatGPT is silently downgrading to mini models

Hello,

I’m on a ChatGPT Plus account, and I’ve noticed that ChatGPT is consistently downgrading me to GPT-5.5-mini silently. The frontend says it’s using GPT-5.6, but when I check the network stream, the resolved_model_slug shows the mini model.

This is deceptive — there’s no indication of why the downgrade is happening, and support has no idea about the issue.
