You rename a Project for clarity and the old share link suddenly 404s or lands on the wrong project — link uses the slug, not a stable ID.
Files are uploaded in the Project, but vector search misses them on short or vague queries. Force retrieval by naming the file or rephrasing literally.
You ran Data Export, the zip arrives, but PDFs and images you uploaded into Projects are not there — file payloads often live in a separate export channel.
20-file cap reached, upload button greyed out — consolidate, archive, or split the Project rather than fighting the limit.
You rewrote Project Instructions, hit save, but the model still follows the old rules — chat-level context, char-limit truncation, or a conflicting Custom Instruction is overriding.
You edited a Google Doc / Notion page linked into Project Files, but ChatGPT still quotes the old text — uploads are point-in-time snapshots, not live links.
You sent the Project share URL to a teammate, they get a 404 / not-authorized — share links are workspace-scoped, expire, and don't carry Files by default.
