ChatGPT Keeps Breaking During Long-Running Tasks

I am a paying ChatGPT subscriber, and I am extremely frustrated with how unreliable the product has become.

I use ChatGPT for serious, multi-step work involving research, software development, document analysis, and long-running projects.

Recently, conversations have repeatedly become unusable or interrupted while work is in progress.

This is not just an occasional inconvenience. It is seriously damaging my productivity.

The problems I am experiencing:

  1. Conversations repeatedly fail or become unusable during extended tasks.

  2. Work is interrupted before the task is completed.

  3. I have to open new conversations and reconstruct the previous working context.

  4. Sometimes the new conversation encounters similar problems.

  5. Repeated interruptions create unnecessary work, duplicated effort, and significant loss of productivity.

The most frustrating part is that I am spending more and more time managing ChatGPT failures instead of doing the actual work.

I want OpenAI to investigate and fix the underlying reliability issues, not just offer generic troubleshooting advice.
