ChatGPT plugin review team declares temporary ‘code red’ to tackle submission backlog

On October 9, a ChatGPT plugin team member said submissions had increased almost tenfold since the start of the year, then tripled again after DevDay. With responses taking an estimated two weeks, the team declared a temporary ‘code red’ and said it was relaxing nice-to-have requirements. It expected to catch up with the backlog in about a week and planned to show wait estimates in the submission portal, automate more review checks and revisit which requirements were critical for user safety.
