GPT initiated update/response within chats

Working on producing some sheet music I have hit a recurring issue where GPT says come back on 30 minutes, when I do it tells me it has failed again….and again 30 minutes later.

I’ve tried to get GPT to give me status and eta updates at midpoints but it isn’t able to - saying that it can only respond if initiated by a chat input from myself.

Requirement: for updates / responses to be scheduled after a user chat input
