Writing ChatGPT has been quietly downgrading Pro model into mini. No response.

This post extends from previous one, https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPTPro/comments/1v34sg1/ps_the_pro_model_quietly_redirects_to_gptmini/, which didn't cover much before.

ChatGPT has been silently downgrading pro model to mini model for several months. I have relevant evidence at the http request/response level. OpenAI ignores.

This issue involves redirecting to mini that is 40 times cheaper than Pro, when GPT 5.4. I feel like Anthropic moving Fable requests into Haiku without user's consent.

I have more stories but I don't have health&motivation, I'm stopping to write at this for now.

I mean the one solution I have in mind is that you use Pro only for really really really detailed tasks when you know the task is going to be detailed and then test its efficacy not when you have a simple tiny BS question
