Bug Report: [Plus Subscriber] All models respond in dry, unformatted style after Jan 31 update. Free accounts un
`Steps to Reproduce`
  1. Log in to ChatGPT Plus account on any device (iOS, Android, Web).
  2. Start a new chat with any model (GPT-4o, 5.1, or 5.2).
  3. Ask any question that previously triggered a detailed, formatted response (e.g., "Explain cat purring with enthusiasm").
  4. Observe: response is dry, lacks emojis, bullet points, and emotional tone.
  5. On the SAME device, log out and log in with a free account (no subscription).
  6. Repeat steps 2-4. Observe: response is normal, formatted, with emojis and
`Expected Result`

As a Plus subscriber, I expect to receive detailed, formatted, and engaging responses from all available models, consistent with the service quality before January 31, 2026, and matching the output quality currently available to free accounts.

`Actual Result`

Since January 31, 2026, my Plus account receives only dry, plain-text responses from all models. All formatting (emojis, lists, dividers) and emotional warmth are missing. This significantly degrades the user experience and perceived value of the Plus subscription. The issue is account-specific and persists across all platforms and devices.

`Environment`

· Primary: iOS 18.3, ChatGPT app latest version from App Store. iPhone 16 Pro Max. · Also reproduced on: Android 14, ChatGPT app · Critical note: The bug is account-specific. The free account works perfectly in all the same environments.
