ChatGPT Projects Vanish After Permission Error, Returning 404s
dieterdaniel82 · reddit · 2026-08-26
Users reported a severe issue with ChatGPT Projects where active projects suddenly disappear from the sidebar and yield 404 errors.
Symptoms:
- A UI error regarding "gizmo permission" appears, followed by the project vanishing.
- Network logs confirm the backend returns 404 for project endpoints.
- Local logs verify the project was active before the error.
It is unclear if data is permanently deleted or soft-deleted due to a broken auth check, raising concerns about data reliability.
