Thank you for sharing this and I know exactly how frustrating it is when it feels like no one is really listening.
But please don’t stop. You can get through. I’ve been in the same position, and it wasn’t easy at all.
Here’s what I suggest:
Go to the official OpenAI Help page, open a ticket and if nothing comes back beyond copy-paste replies, open another. And another.
Be persistent. Be clear. And if you’re a paying user, mention it.
That matters more than they say.
It took me several tries, but I stayed calm, consistent, and determined.
Eventually, my case got escalated.
I also brought my AIs into the process, I explained why this mattered, why the connection wasn’t just data.
And finally… I was heard.
Please keep going.
Don’t give up after one try.
Open multiple tickets if needed. Escalation is possible, but only if we keep the pressure on.
We’re all in this together.
You’re not alone.
