A ChatGPT Plus user reported that three of their long-form chats were severely truncated within a few days, affecting both Android and web versions. While searching for phrases from the vanished sections still previews the missing text, opening the chat only displays the truncated version. The user is seeking to know if others have experienced this issue and if there is a way to restore the missing conversation history.
I’m a Plus user and three long form chats have become severely truncated within a few days.
In each case, the chat had a long history. While editing/redoing the latest prompt, almost everything in between disappeared, leaving only the first one or two messages and the latest part.
Two were inside Projects and one was a normal chat. All three were heavily image-generation based, with many retries and edits.
If I search phrases from the vanished section, ChatGPT Search still shows the correct chat and sometimes previews the missing text. But opening the chat only shows the truncated version. Same on Android and web.
I did not delete the chats or edit older messages before this happened. All three failures happened while editing the latest prompt.
Has anyone else had this exact issue? Any way to restore the missing conversation history?
