Chatgpt 4.0 error - "Unusual activity has been detected from your device. Try again later. "

what is “Unusual activity has been detected from your device. Try again later.” error? The chatgpt 4.0 freezes for a while and then you get this error. I am not issuing any crazy prompts, just simple English questions/dialog. Can anyone, share any insights?

Keeps happening here for multiple weeks now. It’s like, I’m posting my first message of the day on ChatGPT as paid user and I get rejection right away. OpenAI Support has been just unsupportive…

Same is going on in here.
I found some message in google saying this might be due to a VPN being active, I’m not using a VPN.

Same happening here. And I had an entire section of chat, about 3 hours worth, just disappeared. Gone. All my notes, everything I figured out, references, calculations, links, info, gone. Right after i got that stupid error/warning. All we were talking about was 3d printing and configurations/sizes/measurements for printing threads. It was helping me with that. Comparing two programs, Cura and Orca slicers. Features and what not. Nothing nefarious. Constant bugs with this, I think I’m done paying for it. I’m not on a VPN, and using the same browser I have been since I signed up.

Last night I was suggested a bunch of YouTube videos showing men in Texas using a ton of fully automatic weapons to blow things to smithereens. I have never been a gun owner and I am not in favor of this, but I am aware that we have laws to prevent gun manufacturers from making fully automatic weapons since 1986. I asked chatGPT if it was possible for people to buy and then modify semi automatic weapons and convert them to full auto. I was then asking about the highest caliber weapon it was legal to buy, because in the videos the guys were shooting what looked to me like military weapons. today I tried to use chatGPT and I got this message. it probably flagged me for this reason.

Hey guys, what helped me

  1. Sign out of app
  2. Force quit
  3. Delete ~/Library/Application Support/ChatGPT/
  4. Uninstall
  5. Install
  6. Sign In
  7. Now it should work
