Canvas breaks after 200 Lines of Code

I am using ChatGPT 4o with Canvas but it generally stops the code after ~200+ lines every time. I have to ask ChatGPT to give me full code.

Yes. for me it stops at 193 lines. Have to tell Chat let me download the file. Anyone has a workaround?

Yes, there is some kind of threshold around 200 lines where it wants to stop generating. I always copy the code out into an external editor so I have a backup. You can say “continue” when it stops generating and it will try to do more. I’ve managed to get it up to 375 lines, but it’s dodgy. Best to split your project up into multiple files and work on one class or module at a time.

Yes, around 200. It is very frustrating. Like fitting ten pounds of potatoes into a 5 pound sack.

I’m trying to do 4 things, it will only do 3. I fix one, it forgets the other, and won’t remember, but will lie about forgetting.

I tried removing comments, didn’t help.
I check if its because the overall conversation is too long.

I have a program file that I convinced ChatGPT to work on up to about 570 lines before it broke down. It’s a single file that was written in LUA intended to be a simple roguelike RPG for the Minecraft mod ComputerCraft, or CC:Tweaked. It adds little programable computers into the game. I made several fun little projects with ChatGPT and CC:Tweaked.

For Canvas, I cant even seem to get it to let me directly paste in more than 1000 characters before it literally locks my browser and I need to force stop everything in order to get my browser to work again.

Idk if we are allowed to share our projects here from pastebin, but here’s the RPG. It’s “/pastebin get fb9aLwTM RPG” if anyone’s interested. It’s not efficiently written at all, and honestly I wrote 0% of any code, it was ALL ChatGPT. I may have restructured where some functions sit in the script to keep them within scope, but that’s all I did

its not just canvas, but my work around is to tell it to NOT use canvas, provide code in code blocks, write the whole code but break it into segments of less than 200 lines each.
