GPT-5.2 disappeared from ChatGPT without advance notice, despite Aug 10 shutdown date in deprecations docs

Yes, I hope they will fix it so I can switch to the new model smoothly. I’ve already been using 5.5 for work, but for personal conversations it feels a bit superficial to me. The jokes are often flat, and it mostly describes emotions and situations from the outside. 5.2 was different. It pulled me into the conversation almost instantly and somehow managed to resolve some conflicts in just a few lines—without sounding like a therapist or handing out advice.
