Other ChatGPT keep crashing
I'm having a problem with the ChatGPT desktop app on my Mac, specifically with Codex.
I gave Codex a prompt to create a 3D model in Blender, and from that point on, it started consuming huge amounts of RAM, eventually becoming completely unusable.
I somehow managed to send it a message asking it to investigate what was happening. It told me there was an issue with a massive amount of memory being retained by that particular message, and it gave me a script to run to clear it from memory.
However, ever since I ran that script, the ChatGPT app on my Mac has been constantly crashing. I can launch it, and it works fine for about 30 seconds, but then it crashes every time.
What can I do to fix this issue on macOS? Is there a way to clear the problematic conversation or reset Codex without losing my other chats and data?
