There is an issue about memory and thread length. When threads get long, the memory doesn’t consistently stay as it did when the thread was shorter.

ALSO…the biggest issue…when a thread gets very long, it stops working. The messages I post disappear, the responses disappear and the page refreshes. The messages don’t work at all and there is a try-again loop that never returns function to the thread.

Until now I’ve painstakingly trained the AI in the new thread, re-discussing and tweaking things until it’s _close enough_ but it’s never quite the same.

What am I supposed to do if I have an extremely important thread that is now giving issues and timing out, but there is no way to retrain again and I NEED this SAME version of the AI that’s in this thread to continue the work with me?

Can anyone offer help? I need to save a specific thread from the doom that other threads have encountered…I need it to NOT end. I’ve tried editing/deleting unimportant texts to clear space, but nothing truly deletes and it just causes a second text box, thus taking even more memory/space.

PLEASE!! I’m desparate to save one particular thread from ending! Please! \<3
