Unable to Download Generated Files from ChatGPT Temporary Chat

Bug Report: Unable to Download Generated Files from ChatGPT Temporary Chat

Date & Time of Issue:

  • Date: March 7, 2025
  • Time: 2.30 AM IST

Issue Description:
I encountered an issue while trying to download a PowerPoint file (PPTX) generated by ChatGPT. The system successfully created the file, but when I attempted to download it, I received the following error message:
“Failed to get upload status for /mnt/data/IT_Industry_Presentation.pptx.”

I tried multiple times, and ChatGPT regenerated the file with different names, but the issue persisted. This suggests a possible problem with file uploads or downloads within the ChatGPT environment.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue:

  1. Asked ChatGPT to generate a PowerPoint presentation.
  2. ChatGPT confirmed that the file was created and provided a download link.
  3. When clicking the link, an error occurred: “Failed to get upload status for [file path].”
  4. Repeated the process with different files, but the issue remained.

Expected Behavior:

  • The download link should work correctly, allowing users to download the generated file.

Actual Behavior:

  • The system fails to upload the file for downloading, leading to an error.

Impact of the Issue:

  • Users cannot download generated files, making the feature unusable for certain tasks.

Additional Notes:

  • The issue has been tested multiple times in this session.
  • It affects PowerPoint files, but I am unsure if it applies to other file types.
