No longer able to upload images - why?!

Hello
My ChatGPT Plus (which I pay for) has suddenly stopped allowing me to upload images via the web interface. Why did this happen and why?

As a direct result, I am now seriously considering terminating my subscription. Are there any workarounds? e.g. Is there a Windows 11 application for ChatGPT that allows image uploads?

Until very recently I was finding the image upload aspect of ChatGPT to be exceedingly useful for things like identifying error messages and discussing other websites etc etc.

But now ChatGPT is more or less useless to me.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

I also cannot upload anything on my paid account, I also cannot use the web search feature! I can login with a free account and web search is enabled but in my paid account, the web search feature says it’s disabled!!! Why?

I too encountered this problem today. AI was creating images for me for my blogs. Today it stopped. Not a good explanation as to why.

I literally came here searching for this!! Like what!? This is the whole reason I upgraded, I was in the middle of doing important work with multiple images…

Im here with the same problem. One minute I was able to upload my images and now any time I ask it a simple question it pops up a “reasoning” load where you can read its thought process before it answers you. What’s going on? Why am I paying if I can’t use what I paid for?

UPDATE
ok yall, I troubleshot the issue. Make sure that your CHATGPT model did not get switched and that it is set on Chatgpt-4o setting. This should open the function back up to you. Hope this helps.

I’m having the same issue, it stopped searching things. And likes to respond with “So whats on your mind today?” after I prompt it with ANY question. This thing just became absolutely useless.

I have chat GTP paid version, but still can´t upload images. It’s been more than a month!!

Give my money back!

For completeness… the image upload problem seemed to magically sort itself out - the next day from memory. ChatGPT problem it seems.

It is happening to me too! I just upgraded AND NOW I cannot upload anything on a paid account. What? Why? It says “Attachments disabled for” and the + button is light grey now and the it says it’s disabled. Its does work on a new chat for one time. Then it stops working in the conversation anytime after. I want my $20 refunded. Can someone help? I logged out and back in, tried to switch to another model and then back to Chatpgt-4o setting. .and still doing it…

Mine stopped working to upload images even when I have chat plus it tell to wait till tomorrow like there no point to paying extra

For anyone else running in to this, I was able to upload by switching my session to use ChatGPT 4o in the dropdown in the top left corner.
