This just started happening. Up until yesterday, I could run VERY long conversations. But today, I only sent eleven prompts in one chat and then I got the “Chat memory full” error. What is going on, and why is this a thing? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/openai1/original/4X/4/0/d/40d6809b5f14817f1f22044ba47a4783f8a68133.png) ---
