I was speaking with one of my GPT models and this message keeps appearing in the chats:
“New version of GPT available - Continue chatting to use the old version, or start a [new chat] for the latest version.”
When this message appears I can no longer chat with my model, started new chat and got same thing… I have not updated the knowledge base…
this is happening on all chats input text and click send but text doesn’t get sent or leave prompt box. cannot continue chat with text. GPT Voice is unaffected.
I’m having the same error, but it will allow me to continue chatting. However, there is no new version. Nothing has been changed. This is happening on every chatbot that I’ve made.
I’ve noticed this as well…thought it was weird as there is NO new version of ChatGPT, even used Wireshark to watch incoming packets – nothing pushed to my local machine.
So then I started poking around…and I started to notice that when I went back to specific chats at a later date entire sections of conversations were missing.
Hmmmm…very odd indeed.
Further troubleshooting revealed (in my case, anyways) if I kept a thread open after seeing that message WITHOUT clicking it, starting new chat, etc…that chat was intact (UI/UX version) and as soon as I clicked that notice and went back to that thread things were missing…
Put two and two together…not sure why my private chat history is being tampered with but…all I can figure is the thread is locked as dynamic JSON until closed.
Once it’s closed automatic process to strip/scrape your chat takes place.
I’ve noticed all sorts of anomalies as a part of my sessions dissecting the UI experience.
It’s crazy to me that this is still happening as of Nov. 2025 lol. Someone on Reddit suggested that it was because they are making updates on the base model on their side that we aren’t privy to because it’s the base model, and because of that, it still thinks to show the update under custom GPTs. Whether that is true, I can’t verify, but it makes sense? Just wish it would still go away tho lol. I have so many custom GPTs I haven’t even updated in a long time and I still see it.
