GPT Pro 6 and 5.6 answering like a 5.5 mini

Environment

  • Surface: Web
  • Browser or app version: Edge 152.0.4191.66
  • Affected feature and model, if relevant: GPT-6-PRO, GPT-5.6-PRO

Bug

I used gpt pro (I’m on pro plan) to work on a current task, it worked fine yesterday, but now it’s answering without ANY thinking.

Reproduction

Q: Read this, do this, fix this

A: OK I will do this, fix this, report this, etc

Diagnostics

Exact error or screenshot:

When it happened (with timezone) and how often: utc+7, at 4am

The request however showed:

model_slug: gpt-6-pro
requested_model_experience: pro
thinking_effort: standard
fast_convo: true

Free users are getting 5.6-luna and paid are getting a 5.5-mini experience :face_with_bags_under_eyes:

Makes no sense paid users pay for pro and plus to get the best features and best access to top priority features and models
