Gpt is becoming frustratingly slow more and more

ChatGPT

I’m a Plus user, and it’s frustrating when GPT is sometimes very slow. No, it has nothing to do with me, neither with my connection nor anything else. That can be completely ruled out, as it sometimes works normally, but more and more often it’s very, very slow.

When you have to wait a minute for even the simplest questions with the simplest models before anything happens, and then somewhere along the line, the fact that the Open AI status page mostly shows that everything is fine, even though the speeds are very slow.

I’m also a little frustrated right now, because I have the feeling that whenever I want to do something with GPT, and it’s sometimes urgent, it just doesn’t work in that moment.

I’m on ChatGPT Plus. Same experience here.

Used to be that a multi-page answer appeared within seconds. Now it takes 10 - 30 seconds to start and then I can read along as the text is being generated.

Same here. Slowing bad in the last two days.

Same here. Slow AF for 2 days. Poland.

Instead of focusing on performance, more and more new things are being added, which slows it down even further. Yes, it’s great that image generation now works much better, but it’s completely unusable. Who has time to wait minutes for an image when Flux and the similars do it in seconds?

Yes, I know it’s overcrowded at the moment, but not even the chat works well anymore, it’s just slow. As a paying customer, one should be able to expect a little more here? But nobody cares… anyway, I just wanted to mention it

Something that was impossible a year ago is now very possible - but you have to wait a few minutes for it- temporarily. Is that really such a big deal?

I agree. Not really worth paying for plus if you get throttled and you have an image max per session.

Same here. I am Plus user too. Google Geminin free version is 10 times faster.

I’ve now switched to Gemini, too. It’s much faster, and they also have a very good archiving system for chats (something after the community has been “begging” for years, to this day nothing has happened) , which I can file and sort as I want. And let’s be honest, 1 million tokens…

I agree. I am a plus user too, and its usually pretty quick, but the last 5 days or so, its been painfully slow and even asking to “retry” quite a bit. Then it spit out some weird jumbled responses. It corrected when I retried it. but this is not worth the monthly premium.
