Have the same issue. Upon investigating, I discovered that the problem originates from the server at https://chat.openai.com/backend-api/compliance , which is returning an empty response like this:

{
  "registration_country": null,
  "require_cookie_consent": false,
  "terms_of_use": null,
  "cookie_consent": null,
  "age_verification": null
}

However, it should ideally return something like this:

{
  "registration_country": "DE",
  "require_cookie_consent": false,
  "terms_of_use": {
    "is_required": false,
    "display": null
  },
  "cookie_consent": {
    "is_required": false
  },
  "age_verification": {
    "is_required": false
  }
}

The root cause of the issue is that I’m using a VPN, and Cloudflare (which is the endpoints) is preventing the request from being processed correctly. As a result, the code that attempts to access terms_of_use.is_required fails with a TypeError because terms_of_use is null.

To potentially fix the issue, should implement conditional checks using the optional chaining operator (?. ) in the code.

// s.terms_of_use.is_required <- crashed
s?.terms_of_use?.is_required // fixed

This can be accomplished using DevTools on-the-fly. Alternatively, disabling VPN (or use another one that is compatible with Cloudflare) also works.
