Wow, this should be higher up and with a different title.

People who are paying $200/month for a defined service, and think they are using `gpt5.3-codex`, are getting their requests silently routed to a less capable model without telling the user at all. Why? - because openAI claims gpt5.3-codex is too powerful and dangerous in regards to cybersecurity, and their system randomly flags accounts. And the way to unlock access to a model you thought you already were paying $200/month for, is upload your ID and do identity verification...

Most people commenting on the title find it too negative. Of course, the situation is pretty negative for OpenAI.
