After Weeks of ChatGPT Therapy, a User Hit the Session Limit and Lost Everything
scoutermike · reddit · 2026-09-04
A Reddit user going through personal struggles spent weeks telling ChatGPT his life story, saying it understood him better than any human — even asking it to write his eulogy. Then he hit the session length limit: the chat closed, and pasting the final exchanges into a new session left the model nearly clueless about everything established before. He compares the loss to watching a parent show early signs of Alzheimer's, and questions why an $8/month subscription can't buy persistent sessions, asking when OpenAI infrastructure will support longer chats or allow closed sessions to reopen.
