When you don&#x27;t want OpenAI use your ChatGPT chats for their AI models by turning off &quot;allow them to be used to improve our models&quot;, it is no longer possible to have longer conversation then a few minutes.<p>When you focus back on the tab with ChatGPT after a few minutes, then this event is probably used to wipe the conversation, because you can see the page getting cleared when you want to continue.<p>Before this issue it, was possible to have a conversation open and stable for 6 hours (already not ideal).<p>This new behavior hinders usage like solving software development or system admin issues. This also affect users with the Plus subscription that might want to use ChatGPT in a professional context and can&#x27;t offer company data to be used in OpenAI models.<p>It is not clear if it is an honest mistake or a newly introduced limitation to nudge people into sharing more data.
