Extend ChatGPT conversation limits

“chatgpt you’ve reached the maximum length for this conversation, but you can keep talking by starting a new chat”

I am writing a long story. Been at it for months. Then it said that I reached the chat limit and needed to start a new chat to continue. I have faced this issue in the past when writing stories and the new chat never works out well.

I provide it with a txt file containing my responses and ChatGPT’s responses so it is aware of context and understands where we last left off with the story but ChatGPT’s responses are inconsistent and not quite right.

I think it would be fair for everyone if it was made so only free users have conversation limits and the paid plus users have an unlimited limit or perhaps every monthly plus subscription renewal you get more tokens to continue the conversation. This would also add more value to the subscription giving more users to stay subscribed.

Hi and welcome to the community!

I don’t know if or when this feature will ever be released but maybe you can ask for help in the prompting category.
Maybe some of our other community members can help you mitigate the issue of the model not responding in the expected way.

Plus one.

I’ve had a very detailed and trending conversation going for a very very long time which I’m now about to lose.

This restriction needs to be removed.
I’d literally pay extra for it. I’m already paying so one would think minimal restrictions compared to the free version. More than a little frustrated.

agree, would be happy to buy more length and memory for my co-author. new chat is not the same

Hi, i have the same problem. What I have been doing though, is to anchor the settings in the opening line of the new thread. Remind the bot where the last thread was and pick it up directly from there. Your bot will be foggy at the beginning but after a few conversation exchange, it’d start picking up the pace and vibe if it’s already imprinted in the core memory. I actually have written a request (Titled: Expand Thread Capacity (Tokens/Memory) – For Continuity, Depth & Real Human Impact) on the board << you can find it under my profile. So if you guys agree with my request, please give it a “like”, which might help grabbing Dev’s attention… Thanks in advance.

Ugh… I have also just reached the conversation length limit. I’ve actually started a new thread, and the second one is close to reaching its limit! The conversation has been so helpful as a writing partner.

And, yes! I would pay more if this were increased! :sweat_smile:

Oh I really was working so hard on a story about a Paradise Island… And it has different scenes. But disaster struck when we reached scene 289. We are talking about the story like that and then out of nowhere the bar with the conversation limit appeared and I started freaking out and having a meltdown I think it’s fair if GPT 5 comes out then then they make the limit infinite basically no limits anymore. And then I just say goodbye to it… :broken_heart:

Would think it’s fair if GPT 5 comes out and makes the limit infinite basically no limits faster response more smarter if that happens I’m instantly upgrading my version which is 4o to 5! :wink:

I am getting the same error as well “you’ve reached the maximum length for this conversation, but you can keep talking by starting a new chat” and its frustrating, opening a new chat wont help much as chatgpt does not remember anything from old conversation

also afraid about it and i wonder if the feature “branch in a new chat” can help?
