I find this extraordinary. I'm effectively locked out of my $200/month ChatGPT Pro subscription because I was cleaning up old chats and deleted 8-10 conversations in quick succession.
For the past 60 minutes, I've been getting: "Too many requests. Please wait a few minutes". Apparently, the rate limit also applies to reads, so now my entire chat history appears blank.
Doesn't something like this seriously undermine trust in the AI ecosystem? A simple housekeeping operation can suddenly make your entire conversation history inaccessible, with no immediate way to resolve it.
And when I tried to contact support, all I got was:
Escalated to a support specialist. You can expect a response in the coming days.
For a $200/month subscription, being locked out of your data for potentially days because you deleted a handful of chats is difficult to accept.
It's genuinely making me reconsider how much I should trust cloud AI providers with important conversations, work, and information.
