Failure to upload files to "files.oaiusercontent.com"

Here is the solution to the issue. The error is caused by too many files in the server’s storage, when it reached to a maximum memory, it will forbid user from uploading any files to the server. So the solution is to clean the history conversation in your chatGPT account setting and release some memory. I wiped some of my history conversation and solved the problem.

Users reported issues uploading files to files.oaiusercontent.com on ChatGPT, describing persistent errors and troubleshooting efforts that varied in effectiveness. priscila.pedra initially posted about consistent failures in both Chrome and Edge browsers, noting that the issue was not present before. Multiple users, including braddavis2017, jenndimeck, and PQLUX, echoed this problem. PQLUX found a potential fix by disabling FileVault on Mac. mr.qambar, who ran macOS Sequoia 15.1 beta, suspected a firewall issue and confirmed that disabling the Mac firewall allowed successful uploads.

Meanwhile, dalle22 and MartijnWV suggested the issue might be linked to ChatGPT settings or local configurations, while actday resolved it by clearing the Chrome session. teresaa had the opposite experience, where turning on the firewall unexpectedly fixed it. Other users like EricGT and obliquity continued to face upload challenges across various platforms and devices, calling for further assistance.

Ultimately, PaulBellow announced that the issue was formally addressed by OpenAI, stating that the incident was resolved and providing a link to the official status update, indicating it began on October 17th, 2024, and was mitigated shortly thereafter. Consequently, users can expect the functionality to be restored across all affected services.
