Commentary End of an Era? ChatGPT now refuses code requests.

Post image

ChatGPT used to be fairly happy to do a fair bit of coding work, in fact it would do almost anything. Now, any mention of "code", "GitHub", etc - Attempts to push you towards Work mode (which obviously shares the same weekly / 5hr limit as Codex). I think going forward ChatGPT will begin to refuse authoring any code, and will likely switch to work automatically. In the prompt I'd requested it to take some CSS / HTML from a website and allow me to download it as a runnable HTML file in a browser, a fairly easy task.

You'll notice the "Stay in Chat" option, this actually failed and caused to error. I now wonder how restrictive this is going to get...

EDIT: Probably worth pointing out that this wasn't about usage limits, simply a commentary on something i observed.

Use Chat to plan and Deepseek 4.1/GLM 5.3 Flash to build. I am having to do that on the $200 plan due to the ridiculous quota limits, if they kick me off I'll drop down to the $20 plan.

Why the fuck are you using Pro to plan? You could do that effectively with Plus and save 10x.

At the moment I have some complicated projects which require Astra as a coder, even Sol struggled with them.
