I had like 10 messages in this new chat and it is showing chat memory full?! I’m on free plan btw and I had a 1k+ messages long conversation after which it showed this same error and hopefully I already had a summary of that chat and so I pasted that summary into a new chat and after like 10 messages it again showed this?! Also I tried this 4-5 times and every time after just a few messages it showed this error. Any help will be appreciated
