My conversation stuck at stop button, can't continue, please help?!

Please kindly advise what do I do now. Pressing stop button actually sends a message to ChatGPT instead of stopping it from generating. But it stopped replying to me completely. I logged out and back in multiple times, cleared cache, etc, to no avail.

Found this post researching the same issue. Multiple chats completely bricked in the same way. Nothing seems to get rid of the stop button and allow it to proceed. Tried restarting browser, logging out and in, incognito window, etc. Nothing.

That issue resolved either by itself or because I contacted the priority support and provided them with all the info, not sure. But anyhow, something even more outrageous just happened. All of a sudden, the arrow button for sending messages got greyed out and received “disabled” attribute, which I figured from the developer console in my browser. I then logged out to test if it fixes itself after logging back in, but now even my login button is not responding (just as Enter) and also has “disabled” attribute in the html. What the…?

This sounds crazy but I switched to dark mode on my browser on my PC and it fixed this issue immediately.

if someone is having this issue i fix it by using the mobile app, sent a random prompt, let it respond and then refresh the webpage!

hope it helps

If you edit your last message and resend it, it should hopefully fix that problem. I made the mistake of editing my very first message and my entire conversation disappeared. ha.

Prompt stuck again, this has happened multiple times.
Seems that if you accumulate too much information in a single chat then eventually it gets stuck. Tried all the recommendations, nothing worked.

Thank you, this helped. I edited my last post and then hit on Send, then refresh the page and wala!

thanks, this actually just saved me.

This is the only solution when refresh doesn’t work. A hack, but an effective one!
