  • I have tried different code snippets of varying lengths. However, the chat does not accept any code exceeding 100 lines.
  • Until the August 4 evening, the shorter and much longer code worked perfectly fine without any issues.
  • Starting August 5, even moderately long code is not accepted in the chat, and in all attempts, there is an error encountered.
  • It seems likely that this issue arose due to an update on August 3.
  • I currently have a paid subscription, and there should be no restrictions on the code length.
  • I have tried: incognito in Chrome, regular and incognito in Firefox, freshly installed Brave, with on VPN and without it, logins\logout, with or without custom instructions, GPT3.5, 4, Code Interpreter, but nothing worked for me

As a temporary workaround, I can save the code in a txt file and use the chat in the Code Interpreter for commands. Then, I can upload the code as a file, which is inconvenient.

Another workaround will be Firefox with steps: clear openai.com cookies, close browser, open Firefox, login into chatGPT, and try some code 200+ lines. It will work one up to five questions to chat and then get Something went wrong again. It can be repeated.

PS: For those who don't face the problem or think that Firefox is the solution - please don't write everywhere that this is the solution. This is not a solution, and you don't run into a problem because you don't try to send 100+ lines of code, not because there isn't one. If you submit 30 lines of code, everything works as before. Please don't downplay the issue. If it doesn't resolve, I have no point in the chatGPT product and subscription.

For the OpenAI team: Big release with a significant change in the anti-bot system on Friday evening without support on the weekend doesn't sound like a good practice.

I'm having trouble using code in ChatGPT and getting Something went wrong, It's a big issue for many

If you're referring to me, I'll explain why I wrote that Firefox is the solution. 1) There are dozens of these threads popping up with the same problem. 2) I paste lengthy amounts of code over 100 lines and it works for me.

What would be best if everyone kept this issue to a single thread, then there would not need to be a repetition of the same reply.

If lengthy code works for me and others, but not for you, then the workaround may still work for new people encountering the problem.

Hence the need to repeat the same workaround with each new thread that pops up, of which this yet another.

Looks like using file upload does the trick but for some code GPT seems to try to run the file

@azure spruce Thanks for your reply. It made me think that it's not the browser, the length of the code, or maybe not even the VPN and the anti-bot system.

It's about the code and what it does.

For example, the code below is responsible for fine-tuning the model; if you use even this small fragment, the chat always answers, "Something went wrong."

Just now Firefox has completely stopped working, in line with other people's experience. Ten minutes ago, I was able to happily copy and paste lengthy code, but upon starting a new chat the problem has begun.

However, it is working again which I will mention in a moment.

Prior to it working again: The only thing I have done different, which possibly triggered the problem, is that I enabled the Code Interpreter for a new chat session and then sent a moderately lengthy C# class to it. The code interpreter did a poor job with it, so I started a new chat message. That's when I got the "Something went wrong" with every message. Even a simple "hello" causes the error.

This leads me to think our differing experience with the error (and workarounds) is perhaps because we're all in different locations and so we have slightly different experiences at differing times.

However, as I say, it is now working again.

I went to the openai homepage and clicked through to ChatGPT. I had to enter the 2-factor authentication code to verify my identity. The browser did its "verifying" ritual. Then immediately I had to enter the 2-factor code again and the browser verified itself again.

And now it works again (as far as I know).

It is quite a strange problem and I really hope OpenAI are focused on fixing it.

For some reason, it works when sending the snippet of code of any size through iOS's Safari.

Four days of enormous issue, no reaction from OpenAI on Twitter or Discord, just ignoring all requests about this issue.

I've quit membership and recommend that everyone do the same.

Maybe they notice subscription churn and start to answer?

That said, this is occurring in Firefox for me.

The devs are screwing with us. The "big money" they make is in industry (I.E large corporations, enterprises etc.) they really do not give a damn about us, "little people" who are to them, nothing more than "tinkerers". And that's typical. Oh, sure they say they cater to "us" (the "little people") but in reality (and you won't see or hear them admit it) they don't give a hoot. Is it frustrating? Absolutely. Is it right? Not at all. But that's how these folks operate. Their focus is big industry. If we were 'google' or 'Facebook' complaining, they'd be jumping all over this for a fix but plain and simple, we're not. I agreed. Disgusting.
