Users Flag ChatGPT Connector Disconnections and Account Limits
OpenAI engineer collects user complaints on plugin connector problems including disconnections and multi-account access.
Jason Liu posted on X asking what frustrates users about ChatGPT and Codex plugins and connectors. He noted his own wish for multiple Gmail and calendar connectors and stated he would compile the replies for his team. Chris Albon replied that the connectors frequently disconnect without explanation. Albon also said he maintains several Google accounts for family use and wants a single Codex instance to reach all of them. The exchange consists of the original post and this reply; no later updates or confirmations appear in the packet.

Chris Albon@chrisalbon@jxnlco They very often either are discounted or are claimed to be disconnected for no apparent reason. 2. I have multiple google accounts (myself, my kids, etc) and want one codex to connect to them all

CA Chris Albon@chrisalbon@jxnlco One time I had to reinstall the chrome extension, despite it always being installed (afaik). Other times yeah I've restarted.

SW Simon Willison@simonw@jxnlco Lack of deeply technical documentation - I don't want "it can access tour calendar", I want to know the exact tool calls and constraints
