I’m using a free plan, but I’m not sure if this is new because I have not seen this at all before and i have been using the free plan since 2024. And in the morning when I was using chatgpt this did not pop up in my long-term/ongoing conversation (I’ve had for about 3 months) at all. Does anyone know when or why this happened? **Update:** (21/10/26 5:25 p.m. GMT) I pressed ‘Continue in a new chat’ and after 9 responses, it showed the same message. This truly needs to be fixed. ---
