#ChatGPT: Cannot go back to GPT-4 after using GPT-3.5 after reaching the token limit

Expected result:

My goal is to continue using GPT-4 once again on a ChatGPT message thread which was originally GPT-4, but has been switched to GPT-3.5, not to convert an originally GPT-3.5 thread to GPT-4.

Actual result:

I have a long and detailed chat history with GPT-4 I've been using for app dev; after switching from GPT-4 to GPT3.5 following a token limit, I cannot switch back.

My setup:

ChatGPT Plus on OpenAI's website
Safari Browser, 2021 MacBook Pro, macOS Ventura 13.2.1

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open ChatGPT, become a ChatGPT Plus member, and open a chat with GPT-4.
  2. Use GPT-4 until the token limit has been reached (currently, this is just 25 messages in 3 hours).
  3. Upon reaching the limit for GPT-4 tokens, click the button that gives you the option to continue using GPT default model, (GPT-3.5 by default).
  4. A disclaimer message pops up (with no buttons to go back to GPT-4) which says: The previous model used in this conversation is unavailable. We've switched you to the latest default model.
  5. Continue chatting, noting that now the icon has changed from Black (indicating GPT-4) to Green (indicating GPT-3 or 3.5). The returned responses are notable worse, have less ability to refer to context, and are not cohesive or useful.

Things I've done to try to resolve this problem:

  • Wait until the token limit has been refreshed/removed after the specified wait time, which didn't revert the model downgrade
  • Refreshed browser tabs/Signed out and back in/Tried using different browsers/Tried using different devices etc to no avail
  • I tried scrolling back up to a previous prompt which was responded by GPT-4 to edit my original prompt using the prompt edit button, only to note that the new response to my edited prompt forced the model to switch to GPT-3.5 and not continue using GPT-4

**I've seen other people posting the same problem here: **https://discord.com/channels/974519864045756446/1085762065274249226

I'm more than happy to explain further or provide additional examples etc!

#

I've submitted bug/feature feedback via OpenAI's website a number of times now, so that's why I've resorted to contacting them via this discord support bug report

#

Also excuse my formatting, it's not flawless but I tried to make it clean (thank you OpenAI developers ❤️)

I have a 64-page long conversation that was in GPT-4 that I am painstakingly trying to recreate in a new convo because my gpt-4 one switched to 3.5 when i hit my cap 😦 did you ever find a solution for this?
