Feature Suggestion: Notification or Timeout when Generation is Slow or Stuck

Hi, when ChatGPT takes several minutes to respond (e.g. during canvas updates or long generations), it stays silent without any progress indication.

Why not implement something similar to Google Calendar reminders?

  • A visual notification (like a system toast)
  • Automatically bring the tab/window to the front when the reply is ready
  • If no response within 30 minutes, show a timeout alert with options to retry or revise the request

This would help with multitasking, reduce passive waiting, and improve user comfort.

(Usecase: no API, only using the ChatGPT web interface via Firefox)
