I have been using one conversation thread for 50 days now and it reached the error you get when the conversation is too large and laggy to keep going, so i would like to keep going by somehow having another conversation thread pick up all the details so i can basically continue chatting IF there is a way.
Workaround; to keep going with your conversation, you need to upload your chat into a new chat:
Option 1:
- Follow the steps outlined in How do I export my ChatGPT history and data? to export your data.
- Locate the desired chat in the downloaded file, copy the text to a new text file (or JSON file), and upload it in a new conversation to continue the chat. Be sure to inform ChatGPT that you want to continue the conversation based on the uploaded file.
- Note: The uploaded file will expire after 15–30 minutes, so you may need to re-upload it if needed.
Option 2:
- Create a custom GPT, upload your previous conversation as a text file to use a knowledge file, and set the instructions to indicate that the chat will continue based on the content of the knowledge file.
- Specify in the custom GPT instructions that the knowledge file contains your previous ChatGPT interactions, and the model should continue the chat based on that file. This eliminates the need to repeatedly upload the file every 15 minutes, as required in Option 1.
Note:
- If your chat history is very long and finding a specific chat is challenging, you can use Chrome extensions to extract only the current chat from ChatGPT. For example, extensions like FancyGPT can help, but there are many options available. Be sure to review their policies and terms regarding the handling of your personal data before using them.
- If you had some image files or other document files you uploaded before, also you should upload them in chat or in custom GPT uploading as knowledge files.
