While using the GPT-4 Engine i'm used to the 4 hour message limit, but tonight i suddenly received the error that my conversation is too long and i have to start a new one? It was preceded by a few network errors while it tried to generate the reply on my prompt, so i decided to copy paste the generated part and edit my previous prompt to see if it would continue.

Digging into the dev-tools i found the message cap of 50 and the conversation window cap of 240. i'm pretty sure my conversation contains at least 300 messages, so if 240 was the cap i would have hit it yesterday already.

message_cap: 50, message_cap_window: 240}
message_cap: 50
message_cap_window: 240 (Time?)

UserError: The conversation is too long, please start a new one.

Is the error genuine or a hickup? cause it would suck to start over in a new conversation, i never encountered this error with GPT-3.5 and there are conversations that contain hundreds of messages for sure...

I didn't expect the error, so i'm hoping it's just a glitch.
