User asks ChatGPT to archive work overnight — wakes up to find it lost everything
Xiepex · reddit · 2026-10-21
A Reddit user complains that their AI assistant "Dot" keeps stopping on its own: twice they asked it to build an archive of its work overnight and send it over, and each morning the assistant was "asleep," later admitting it didn't know how access was lost and that everything it had done was gone. A typical failure case for long-running autonomous tasks.
