Paying user says ChatGPT Work wipes paid work when credits run out, no checkpoint or resume
Boilerplate4U · reddit · 2026-09-15
A Reddit user details a severe ChatGPT Work (GPT-6) flaw: when purchased Plus Work credits run out mid-task, the system wipes the entire result instead of checkpointing — no partial report, no resume point. Users must re-run and pay for the same analysis after their allowance resets. The author contrasts Anthropic's Claude Chat/CoWork, which safely pauses and preserves state, and suspects a systemic bug in OpenAI's agent orchestration/output persistence layer. Their team orchestrates Codex CLI and Claude CLI via an internal MCP router, so this isn't isolated web-UI usage.
