Current issues

AI assistants can’t create projects through the Todoist connector (Claude, ChatGPT, Muse)

  • ⚠️ Platforms affected: Todoist connector (MCP) used with Claude, ChatGPT and Muse. Creating projects in the Todoist apps is not affected.
  • 🛠️ Status: Fixed on November 2, 2026. 🚀️ Your AI assistant can create projects again, and you don't need to reconnect anything.
  • 🔍 Symptoms: When you ask your AI assistant to create a project, it fails with the message “Could not verify your personal project limit. This project was not created. Retry later.” The project isn’t created.
  • 💡 Workaround: Create the project in the Todoist app, then ask your AI assistant to add tasks to it.

Known Limitations

Moving tasks with a large number of subtasks may fail

⚠️ Platforms affected: All
🛠️ Status: May be addressed by end of 2026.

🔍 Symptoms: A sync error appears when moving a parent task with many subtasks. If dismissed, the task and all subtasks may disappear from all platforms and cannot be recovered.

💡 Workaround: Move smaller groups of subtasks instead of all at once. If a sync error appears, do not dismiss it and contact Support immediately so the team can investigate and recover the affected tasks.

Inline images in forwarded emails appear broken in task comments

⚠️ Platforms affected: All
🛠️ Status: Known limitation - no fix planned near-term.

🔍 Symptoms: When forwarding an email with inline images (embedded in the body), the images appear broken in task comments. Clicking them opens a blank tab or returns a 403 error. File attachments are unaffected.

💡 Workaround: Attach images as file attachments instead of embedding them in the email body before forwarding.
