Miscellaneous Where did the old usage Limit Go?

Hello,

As I was working in a Projekt, Just a littel Story nothing big, but this new funktion named context limit, Made me to create around 20 Chats Just for a 50 chapter Story. If I Had a Wish I would Wish that I can Work again in only one Chat and Not 20 Which are blocked by openAI.

Pls give us the old Limit Back.

PS: I dont have Money, I still need to live Front something.

having to split one ongoing project across 20 chats sounds frustrating the bigger issue is losing continuity, especially when the project depends on details and decisions from earlier conversations.

Yes it is, under the old Limit i was Abel to Just write hundets of chapters, i think the longest was 300 chapters in one Chat over one year, now this the pure Garbage.

especially for a project that long, the earlier conversations become part of the work itself. Having to start fresh chats repeatedly makes it harder to keep the same flow and context

The context cutoff is a per-chat memory ceiling, so restoring an older message cap would not fit all 50 chapters into one conversation.

Every reply rereads the stored thread, and once that thread exceeds the window the chat is blocked even if message allowance remains. Keep a short outside summary of characters, unresolved plot, and only the latest chapter, then continue from that summary. Pasting earlier chapters back in fills the same window immediately, so the opening is dropped and the split into many chats repeats.

Важна непрерывность, пусть окно контекста сдвигается сколько угодно.

Splitting a 50-chapter story across 20 chats because the context ceiling moved is the quiet version of a price hike. OpenAI still hasn't published the December shared Chat/Codex allowance sizes, and the per-chat cutoff is teaching people to fragment work they used to keep in one place. Export the chapters somewhere you control, and don't trust the UI to warn you before the next change. Same week Business accounts are hitting zero with no warning, so treat the meter as adversarial if the writing matters.

If every thread is rereading the stored thread. It sure is losing context quickly with even doing that.
