Error: ChatGPT failed to refresh auth token. Error: 403 Forbidden

[kienmd]

Being thrown this error, not sure if it is to do with new Cloudflare protections.

[gragland]

Yeah looks like it's due to the new Cloudflare protection that OpenAI added. Will track the issue in this thread and then update the extension when there's a fix.

I am writing the token manually in the .env SESSION_TOKEN= as soon as I log into chatgpt I go to the cookies and copy the secure auth token but stills shows the error even if I do the capcha manually any solutions or everyone is having the same problem even with manual? Because I did the transitive bs examples and they worked even if I had to do the capcha manually

Yep - same problem here. Ugh.

Same problem here:

Getting this error after adding the session token to .env file.

[sellenth]

Perhaps try my PR. Note that the .env.example has changed

[rico0610]

This works for me thanks. However, I found another cool extension, called Merlin.

@gragland Are you planning to update the code and readme based on changes made in the transitive-bs thread? I am still getting the same error message.

[gragland]

Thanks @sellenth! Just merged your pull request and updated to the latest version of the library.
