New Chats won't save and keeps going back to a certain point in a conversation

[Amateur user]

I dont know if this is an ongoing problem but i cant seem to find any topics similar to this.
I was writing a story using ChatGPT and was having a great time, until the chat bugged and would not save anything beyond that.
Only this specific chat and not others. I would refresh the conversation and regenerate older chats to get rid of this bugged chat, but after leaving the app, when i re-open the chat, what was supposed to be something like =

User1 → Assistant1 → User2 → Assistant2 → User3 → Assistant3 → User4 → Assistant4

(It was like this before i left the app)

Became something like =
User1 → Assistant1 → User2 → User3 → User4

With the bot’s answer for no 2, 3 and 4 dissapearing.
I tried to clear cache, force stop, etc, even editing older prompts to regenerate the chat again, but somehow, when i get to a certain point again, the bot would reference something from this deleted message.
Ex =
(For context, lets say its a story about a butterfly and a caterpillar, the previous prompt was the caterpillar being bird food or something)

Prev prompt =
User1 : Tell me a story about a butterfly and a caterpillar!
Assistant1 : sure! A butterfly met an insecure caterpillar and comforted the caterpillar.
User2 : Lets say the butterfly didnt quite word it right, and the caterpillar continues to be sad and didnt realise a bird was coming to catch it
Assistant2 : The caterpillar was too deep into sorrow that it did not notice the bird coming to eat it.

[Chat refreshed from point User2]

Refreshed chat =
User1 : Tell me a story about a butterfly and a caterpillar!
Assistant1 : sure! A butterfly met an insecure caterpillar and comforted the caterpillar.
User2 : The butterfly comforted the Caterpillar and cheered him up
Assistant2 : The caterpillar was eaten by the bird but was comforted by the butterfly’s words.
[Somehow referencing the previous prompt?]

Is there a fix for this problem? I cannot afford to restart fresh because my memory is full and i cannot afford to retell every story again.


Nevermind. Seemed to have figured out why this occurs… would be nice if they show this pop up the moment this occurs or else i wouldnt have to keep repeating the chat from a single point for two weeks…
