User burns 14+ hours of Codex usage after GPT suddenly stops following basic instructions
Airaneon · reddit · 2026-10-02
A Reddit user reports GPT behaving erratically: after 14+ hours on one task, the model refused to follow basic directions and kept ruining the work, burning large amounts of Codex usage. Starting a new chat, offloading context, and providing examples of previously successful tasks all failed. They're asking whether others hit the same issue.
