The following issues have been observed while using the Project and Task functionalities in ChatGPT:

  1. Contextual Reference Errors After Updating Project Instructions

  • Issue:

    • After updating or editing the project instructions (custom instructions), subsequent interactions within the same chat frequently reference incorrect context—often referring to older user inputs rather than the most recent ones.

  • Impact:

    • This causes confusion, forcing users to repeatedly clarify or restate context, significantly reducing conversational efficiency and productivity.

  • Reproducibility:

    • Highly reproducible; confirmed multiple times across different instances.
  1. User Bio Not Loading When Initiating a New Chat Within a Project

  • Issue:

    • When initiating a new chat instance within the project environment, the user’s profile information (User Bio) is not loaded. However, other personalization settings and memory information are correctly referenced.

  • Impact:

    • This requires users to repeatedly provide or clarify basic context and information (such as business-related preconditions or personal work scenarios), negatively affecting usability and efficiency.

  • Reproducibility:

    • Consistently reproducible; confirmed repeatedly.
  1. Task-Based Chat Instances Automatically Deleted After Reaching Message Limits (Under Investigation)

  • Issue:

    • Chat instances utilizing the Task functionality are sometimes automatically deleted upon reaching certain usage limits (e.g., number of messages or tokens), particularly when generating subsequent tasks.

  • Impact:

    • This may cause the sudden loss of conversation logs and disrupt ongoing task management and continuity of records.

  • Reproducibility:

    • Currently under investigation to determine reproducibility. Further reporting will be provided once details are clarified.
