In their words

What people said

Problem
Is this really a global capacity shortage, or is something wrong with my account specifically? The error keeps happening. I would appreciate a clear explanation and a real solution.

Problem
Horrible usage and constant "model out of capacity"

@securitytest02 on X ↗ · 23 Oct 2026
Problem
Is this just me? At capacity all day?

@mrluiscalderon on X ↗ · 22 Oct 2026
Problem
After the update, the model is full again. Can't this problem be completely solved?

@RhlTrPE8jU2230 on X ↗ · 21 Oct 2026
Problem
I have no idea, what's wrong with you guys? "This model is at capacity" or "error 10054"

Problem
@thsottiaux thanks for the reset but it's almost unusable, chatgpt constantly crash, codex is very slow and we have the capacity error. Great to developpe some tools but we would like the current tools to work..

Problem
Same thing here, the reason is obvious: They ran out of VMs, and now they are crashing existing sessions left and right to get new users started.
