Hello people, lately I keep getting this error when I ask a question to chatgpt "A network error occurred. Please check your connection and try again. If this issue persists please contact us through our help center at help.openai.com.". I tried everything, from turning off the vpn, changing the browser, sending short questions, all the same error.
Please help I've been using chatgpt for a year and a half and never had this problem before. This happens on chatgpt4, sometimes it also happens on chatgpt3, but not like on chatgpt4. I would like to go back to 3.5, but I can't because there is no option. Thanks.✅

Hi @eternal yoke. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with ChatGPT. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:
-
Check your network settings: Make sure your network connection is stable. If you're using a VPN or Web Protect, try disabling them. If the issue persists, try connecting to a different network [source (https://help.openai.com/en/articles/7996703-chatgpt-error-messages)].
-
Clear your browser's cache and cookies: Sometimes, browser data can cause issues with web services. Clearing your cache and cookies might help resolve the issue.
-
Try using an incognito window or a different browser: Browser extensions, especially those for security, can sometimes cause problems. Using an incognito window or a different browser can help determine if this is the case [source (https://help.openai.com/en/articles/7996670-chatgpt-says-something-went-wrong)].
-
Check if the issue is with your machine or the whole network: Try accessing ChatGPT from a different device connected to the same network. If the issue persists across devices, it might be a network problem [source (https://help.openai.com/en/articles/9247338-network-recommendations-for-chatgpt-errors-on-web-and-apps#h_2e3eadd409)].
-
Switch to a cellular network: If you're using a company network or WiFi, try switching to a cellular network, such as a hotspot on your smartphone. If the issue goes away, it might be a problem with your company network or WiFi [source (https://help.openai.com/en/articles/9247338-network-recommendations-for-chatgpt-errors-on-web-and-apps#h_2e3eadd409)].
- Check OpenAI's status page: Sometimes, the issue might be on OpenAI's end. Check their status page (https://status.openai.com/) to see if they're currently experiencing any issues [source (https://help.openai.com/en/articles/7996670-chatgpt-says-something-went-wrong)].
If none of these steps resolve the issue, please reach out to OpenAI support for further help. You can contact them through their help center (https://help.openai.com/) [source (https://help.openai.com/en/articles/9047779-why-is-my-chatgpt-taking-so-long-to-respond)].
As for your request to switch back to ChatGPT 3.5, I'm afraid I don't have any information on how to do that based on the provided sources. It might be best to ask OpenAI support about this as well.
Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
