Problem
My dot has vanished from the app?

Problem
Dots keeps appearing and disappearing from the menu in both ChatGPT and Codex on my $100 Pro plan. Is this a known bug or part of the rollout? It's frustrating not having consistent access to a feature that's already been introduced.

Problem
my dot is fucking gone from my phone like 90% of the time. most useless feature unfortunately

Problem
DOTs only shows up on the browser based and desktop ChatGPT... my DOT disappeared from my mobile app after a couple of days... support ticket open but no resolution. 🫤

Fantastic. Now I can fail to create my Dot from my phone too. Greetings from the Netherlands. 😂

Problem
Is calling the dots still blocked, because it's not working for me...

Problem
Thanks, but I still don't even have Dots despite being on Pro 💀 Day 5 out of 28, and we're getting an upgrade to a feature I can't even access? A usage-limit reset would've been way more appreciated 😭

Hey Tibo, Dots are broken. Its a damn shame it’s such a faulty product. Rip 🪦 🕊️

Problem
Hi Tibo! I’m currently on the ChatGPT Pro plan, but Dots still hasn’t been activated on my account yet.
