When using a temporary chat session, refreshing the browser results in a “Page Not Found” error instead of restoring the session or loading a new temporary chat interface.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open a temporary chat session

  2. Start chatting

  3. Click the browser refresh button

  4. Observe the result

Expected Behavior

After refreshing, the application should either:

  • Restore the existing temporary chat session, or

  • Redirect to a new/default temporary chat screen

Actual Behavior

The page fails to load and displays:

  • “Page Not Found” or “This page isn’t working”

  • HTTP ERROR 431

Environment Details:

  • Device: MacBook Pro (M1)

  • OS: macOS

  • Browser: Google Chrome

Hey @Deepak_S1! That’s definitely not expected. After refreshing, it should redirect you to a new Temporary Chat screen, not a “Page Not Found.”

When you get a sec, try incognito/private browsing first, then a different browser, and clearing cache/cookies if needed. If none of that helps, please reach out to support@openai.com so they can investigate further.
