Issue
Some users experience the Composer stalling on “Generating…” after submitting prompts, especially during long conversations. This is the primary focus of this thread. For unrelated issues, please create a new topic or email [email protected].
Workarounds
- Partial: Starting a new Composer session may help, though it requires re-populating your conversation context.
- Unconfirmed: Some users report success by rolling back to a previous checkpoint in the conversation, or by retrying the same request.
If you discover other effective workarounds, please share them here.
Current Status
The development team is prioritizing this issue. They’ve addressed some triggers, reducing occurrences for some users, but continue to investigate the root cause. Troubleshooting is challenging due to the issue’s sporadic nature, so user-reported details are crucial.
