ChatGPT is blocking all file downloads, and OpenAI falsely claims everything is working. Multiple users are experiencing this issue, but no one is fixing it. This needs to be addressed immediately.
I have been working on an extensive deep research report on Angelic Encounters and Non-Human Intelligence, which currently totals approximately 533,000 words. Despite numerous attempts to generate files in various formats (DOCX, PDF, EPUB, TXT, and Markdown), even very small test files are consistently failing to download—the system is blocking these downloads entirely.
I have tried splitting the report into multiple parts (up to 8 parts) to bypass potential file size limitations, but the downloads remain blocked regardless of format or file size. This issue persists across different devices, which suggests that it is likely a system-level restriction on file downloads rather than an issue with my account or device.
