What it means
The exact reset behavior depends on the model and account tier. Preserve the thread before changing models or waiting for access to return.
Quick checks
- Read the model picker and notice for a reset time.
- Copy or export the conversation before switching workflows.
- Check OpenAI status if other chats also fail.
