Hey, this might be related to today’s OpenAI incidents. You can check them out here: [https://status.openai.com/](https://status.openai.com/)  
However, I’m not experiencing such issues with the GPT-4o-mini model, but the GPT-4o model is currently unavailable. I think everything will be back to normal soon.

Old chats sometimes stop responding, possibly due to the context window being full. You’ll need to start a new chat periodically, but we’re working on a solution to this issue.

> Hey, We’ve identified a bug where chats (and composer chats) with images as context can stop responding if the image is no longer available (deleted/moved/cleared up by the OS). You should be able to either: Start a new chat Delete the image from all your previous chats with it in, and the chat should start to respond again We have only just identified this, and will be releasing a fix soon!
