Small quality of life feature:

It would be really nice to have an indication that you are about to hit the chat limit before it actually happens to be able to create a proper “handoff” file or have the agent summarize everything for a new chat instance to try and keep relevant context/continue the conversation elsewhere without feeling like you are starting from scratch.

I know using ‘projects’ is sort of supposed to do something like this, but it definitely does not work as well as telling ChatGPT to create a proper handoff file to itself in a new chat to continue working on something.

Hey @Fractured617, welcome to the community!

This has come up in a few different forms from other community members too. The common theme is that users want some warning before a long conversation starts losing useful context, rather than discovering it only after continuity has already broken down.

Your suggestion adds a useful practical step to that idea. A warning would be much more helpful if it also gave users enough time to generate a proper handoff containing the main decisions, completed work, relevant files, and what still needs to be done.

Projects can help keep related chats and files together, but they do not fully replace a carefully prepared handoff between conversations. An option to create that handoff and continue in a new chat could make long running work feel much more continuous.

I cannot promise a timeline for changes like this, but I will pass your feedback along internally.
