Description

Cloud Browser provisioning failure on ChatGPT Pro.

Location: Germany
Client: ChatGPT web in Chrome on Windows
Failure appeared suddenly.

Cloud Browser settings are present.
Standard permission: Automatically approve.
No website-specific blocks are configured.

The issue reproduces in a fresh neutral chat.
The browser connection can be discovered, but creating even a blank tab repeatedly fails with:

CDP operation create tab timed out after 20000ms

https://example.com is never reached.
No login, project access, or file access was attempted.

Please investigate and reset/reprovision the account-side Cloud Browser/CDP session.

Research direction

The report names no repository file, test, or entry point; start by checking whether Cloud Browser or CDP provisioning is implemented in this repository. Reproduce the blank-tab failure and trace the account-side session path. Done means the Cloud Browser session is successfully reprovisioned and can create a blank tab without the 20-second timeout.
