Rockstar Games has received a list of complaints from GTA Online players who experienced losing characters, progress, items, and/or in-game cash during the first few days after release.

Rockstar Support stated,

“We are working diligently to identify and correct the causes for these losses, as well as to establish how best to restore any lost progress and value.”

They also listed a bunch of issues below:

General network/cloud server issues

  • “Rockstar Cloud Servers Unavailable” error message
  • “Failed to Host a GTA Online Session” error messages
  • Errors saying “Timed out when matchmaking for a compatible GTA Online Session to join”
  • Errors about jobs failing to start or load
  • Misc. network and server-related error messages, disconnections, or cloud server errors
  • Errors saying “Mission Failed” as soon as the mission begins during a session
  • Long matchmaking load screens, eventually timing out after 10-15 minutes
  • Offline (disc-based) and online content mixing on the Jobs list
  • Ending up in a free-roam session with no jobs/markers on the map while playing as a temporary character during a cloud outage
