On topic of just data requests from OpenAI - this article says “Be aware that this process isn’t instant”
I did notice this an wonder what changed - I do periodic data backups of various services, and up until recently it was impressive, as ChatGPTs email with data zip file link arrived maybe within 1-3 min of the request, for around a ~1GB file. I have similar amount of data now (even less, I pruned some), yet now the file takes a really long time to prepare and receive.
I would imagine they chose to cap the resources spend on batch processing for this export function.
I started mine monday and it never finished (never got the email saying its ready). I started it again on tuesday and it finished in two hours. Maybe they just had a surge of exports on monday.
