The chat keeps displaying the following message for messages not longer than a sentence: Your message is too long. Please try again with a shorter message and fewer/smaller attached items.

The request ID is: c9537a32-6cd5-467a-9d0f-b4e213e0d39b

I haven’t been able to get past this message even after creating a new chat.

I have checked my plan, and I still got a few more requests, so its nothing to do with payment

Maybe you are adding too much context? Have you tried creating a new chat without attaching context? Would it work in that case?

Hi Deanrie, reducing context did the trick, thanks.
