So, Agent Mode is draining ChatGPT’s smarts—here’s what that’s about

Understanding the Impact of Agent Mode on ChatGPT’s Performance

Over the past week or two, some users—including myself—have noticed a significant decline in ChatGPT’s responsiveness and overall functionality. Many initially suspected ongoing technical issues, but a recent insight suggests a different cause: the introduction of Agent mode.

It appears that enabling Agent mode may be consuming considerable system resources or altering the way ChatGPT operates, leading to diminished performance. Tasks that were once straightforward—such as uploading files, debugging, or exporting data—have become frustratingly unreliable or outright problematic.

If you’ve been experiencing similar frustrations, you’re not alone. I hope that as the platform adjusts, these issues will resolve soon. In the meantime, it might be worth considering whether Agent mode is contributing to these challenges and if disabling it temporarily could restore better stability.

Stay tuned for updates, and hopefully, soon we’ll see smoother functionality restored across the board.
