Problem
I have to CONSTANTLY fight the auto approval for work my dots delegate, meaning I have to actually be monitoring it constantly... Not much use as a bot now is it??? This is with plugins set to allow all, and "custom rules" whatever the fuck that is. Reset please

Problem
You broke something. Now suddenly all scheduled automations are stopping and asking for manual permissions to use plug-ins, even though they've worked fine for months. Yes "always allow" has been checked repeatedly, still keeps asking

Problem
is there a bug with Scheduled Tasks? Mine can read Gmail/Outlook and decide what to do, but connector write actions get blocked by the safety check. while the exact same actions work immediately when I trigger them manually in chat. 🤔

Problem
I’m close to cancelling my subscription over Dots’ broken approval system. Mine has Full Access, yet approved actions keep getting denied. I contacted OpenAI support and still have no answer. An assistant that can’t act with my permission isn’t worth paying for.

Problem
what has happened to Dots? It's now struggling to do even the smallest tasks, everything has a 'blocker', even though I've given full permissions in settings. Feels completely broken
