Creating my gpt file upload problem

I created a gpt, and try to upload files - it failed on saving draft.
I deleted the gpt and tried again, now with a small text file.
still doesnt work, why advice?

it does seem to hate some file extensions vs formatting/encoding.
You could just base64 filename.txt > new_filename.txt

GPT has no issues reading base64.
Thats one way.
