Persistent non-streaming responses & disabled send button (ChatGPT Plus)

Hi everyone,

I’ve been experiencing a persistent issue with ChatGPT (Plus subscriber) where:

  1. Responses are often not streamed – Instead of appearing gradually, they are only displayed after being fully generated. This happens in nearly every session, regardless of the device or network I’m using.
  2. The send button sometimes becomes disabled – I have to reload the page or restart the app to be able to send messages again.
  3. This happens across multiple devices and platforms – I’ve tried different browsers, incognito mode, clearing cache/cookies, disabling VPNs, and using different networks, but the issue persists.

I’ve contacted OpenAI support, but the responses I received were generic troubleshooting steps that don’t seem to address the underlying issue. Since this is happening across all my devices, it seems like a backend-related problem rather than something on my end.

I wanted to post here to see if anyone else is experiencing the same thing or if there are any known fixes. If this is an account-level or server-side issue, hopefully, OpenAI can investigate further.

Appreciate any insights from the community!

Thanks,
Marcus
