Critical Bug: Assistant Settings Randomly Overwritten and Cloned Without Warning

This is not the first time this has happened. In fact, it has occurred several times. For some inexplicable reason, the settings of one of my assistants (let’s call it Assistant X) get lost and are replaced by configurations from other assistants. Additionally, clones of other assistants randomly appear in my list of assistants. It becomes a complete mess, and it all happens out of nowhere — no warnings, no errors.

Even worse, the affected assistant continues to function in my integrations, but with the wrong settings. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

I’ve tried reaching out to OpenAI support before, but unfortunately, I never received any response. This is a major issue in their service and needs urgent attention.

I just had the same issue

Wow, that sounds really frustrating — especially when the assistant keeps running with the wrong settings. You’re definitely not the only one; I’ve seen at least one other person mention a similar issue with assistants being randomly cloned or overwritten. If it’s affecting integrations too, that could lead to some serious unintended behavior.

It’s concerning that this has happened multiple times and still no warning or error logs. This feels like the kind of bug that could easily go unnoticed until it causes major confusion or even breaks something.

Thanks for raising it clearly — hopefully OpenAI picks this up soon, because if it’s affecting multiple users, it might be more widespread than we realize.
