Hi everyone,
I’m encountering an unusual issue with ChatGPT and wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar or has a solution.
The Issue
I briefly switched to voice mode during a chat and exited quickly. Since then, that specific conversation is completely unresponsive:
- The “Stop” button is permanently showing, as if it’s stuck mid-response.
- I cannot type or submit any new messages.
- There’s no error message, just a frozen state.
- This issue is limited to that one chat only — other conversations work fine.
What I’ve tried:
- Switching browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari)
- Using Incognito/Private mode
- Disabling all extensions
- Clearing cookies/cache
- Updating my browser
- Restarting my device
I’ve contacted OpenAI support, and they’ve escalated it to their technical team. However, I’m past a project deadline and losing access to this chat is seriously affecting my workflow.
Has anyone encountered this before? Is there any workaround or way to recover a stuck chat thread?
Thanks in advance for any help!
