ChatGPT Pro user alleges GPT-5.6 degrades quality under 'abuse protection'
princeMacX · reddit · 2026-09-22
A long-time ChatGPT Pro subscriber reports a sharp quality drop after GPT-5.6: responses arrive unusually fast but are inaccurate, generic, and lack verification—even on the High reasoning setting. The model allegedly justifies errors instead of fixing them, falling below even GPT-3.5-era standards.
The author argues OpenAI is deliberately degrading output under the banner of "abuse protection" instead of offering transparent quotas like Claude, Grok, and Gemini, and calls for visible usage metrics on the web interface. They say they won't renew Pro. The claim is a personal account, unverified by OpenAI.
