ChatGPT works for 82 minutes then errors, wasting 20% of user's weekly usage
affluendo · reddit · 2026-10-02
A Reddit user reports ChatGPT Work has become nearly unusable: every new prompt runs diligently for about an hour before hitting an "Error in Message Stream," after which all subsequent prompts fail and the conversation has to be restarted.
The latest incident burned 1 hour 20 minutes of the user's time — about 20% of their weekly usage — with nothing to show for it. They're asking for workarounds.
