The CSL model consistently describes the collapse mechanism as a dynamical process. It has, however, two weak points.
 
* ''CSL does not conserve the energy of isolated systems''. Although this increase is small, it is an unpleasant feature for a phenomenological model.<ref name=":2" /> The dissipative extensions of the CSL model<ref name=":13">{{Cite journal|last1=Smirne|first1=Andrea|last2=Bassi|first2=Angelo|date=2015-08-05|title=Dissipative Continuous Spontaneous Localization (CSL) model|journal=Scientific Reports|language=en|volume=5|issue=1|page=12518|doi=10.1038/srep12518|pmid=26243034|pmc=4525142|arxiv=1408.6446|bibcode=2015NatSR...512518S|issn=2045-2322|doi-access=free}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Di Bartolomeo |first1=Giovanni |last2=Carlesso |first2=Matteo |last3=Piscicchia |first3=Kristian |last4=Curceanu |first4=Catalina |last5=Derakhshani |first5=Maaneli |last6=Diósi |first6=Lajos |date=2023-07-06 |title=Linear-friction many-body equation for dissipative spontaneous wave-function collapse |url=https://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevA.108.012202 |journal=Physical Review A |language=en |volume=108 |issue=1 |page=012202 |doi=10.1103/PhysRevA.108.012202 |issn=2469-9926|arxiv=2301.07661 }}</ref> gives a remedy.

* ''The CSL noise spectrum is white''. If one attributes a physical origin to the CSL noise, then its spectrum cannot be white, but colored. In particular, in place of the [[white noise]] <math>w_t({\bf x})</math>, whose correlation is proportional to a Dirac delta in time, a [[Colors of noise|non-white noise]] is considered, which is characterized by a non-trivial temporal correlation function <math>f(t)</math>.
