If you upload certain files (PDFs, PPTs, PPTX, CSV, etc.) it will show you this error.
Welcome to the forum it is a interesting place 
It happens to me too, it is network or server time out issues.
I just upload again.
this is so common its hilarious. I get it ever so often for hours at a time. I love paying over 20 bucks a month for this many errors lmao.
Is it really Network issue? Because sometimes uploading the same document even after 10 times does not work but recreating it with Microsoft PDF Printer works.
Xd. Canât even complain right? It seems in near future they are going to restrict us more and more, and when it comes to payment, well you gotta pay more and more.
I never ran into this until today. Is there any solution or known cause?
I moved you to community tag, API is a different system than ChatGPT. I wish you all luck and welcome all new users

I found a workaround: you just need to open your PDF and âprint itâ to a new PDF. That new PDF uploads to ChatGPT without errors.
Enjoy!
So what I figured out was that the PDF needed to go through an OCR and the pdf that is created after was able to be uploaded due to the words in it being selectable, hope this helps anyone.
YOU bl**dy LEGEND!!! Iâve been pulling my hair out about this issue for AAAGES. This worked perfectly. Thanks a bunch 
This allowed the upload to succeed, we will see if the analysis of the document actually succeeds⌠thanks for the work around.
Nope, I got the âfiles were removed due to the execution state resetâ message I have seen multiple times. WTFâŚ
The problem seems to be with purely image based PDFs. If you add one text-containing PDF page at the front, the uploads work. I did this with MasterPDF editor 4 on linux and it worked immediately. I was able to upload 2 700+ page PDFs after giving them a blank page with a simple text box on it that said âtext box to remove laterâ. I didnât try just a completely blank page.
I hope this helps.
I did help, you are right! Either add some text to pdf or if itâs short PDF just change the format to jpg.
Iâve noticed this tends to ignore smaller files (< 1 KB) consistently.
ChatGPT first accepted nine of my text files, and then started bringing up this error message. Now itâs been two weeks since I was not able to load any additional files. The same error message keeps coming.
same problem here with matlab code files. just wanted to voice that a software that is so inconsistent in the stability of its capabilities is considered bad in any book. openai might have barely still have the upper hand, but ill switch first chance i get. considering how much theyâre stressing the models capability to integrate context it really borders on plain fraud.
Please fix this error! I can attach some codes but not others. I havenât found any logic why some codes give âUnknown error occuredâ. It does not seem to depend on file size or programming language. When error occurs, the code must be then copy-pasted manually into prompt. Feels so 2023.
