Error messages sound harsh, but most are simple. They are just little notes, not warnings about you.

Something went wrong usually means ChatGPT was busy. Wait and try again.

Network error usually means your internet dropped. You reached your limit means you used your free turns for now.

Try this
  1. Read the message slowly. Look for plain words like network or limit.
  2. If it mentions the internet, check your connection and try again.
  3. If it mentions a limit, take a short break and come back later.
