"Unable to load conversation" – support isn't helpful, error has been going on for over a month now

Hi @syedali.wba, I can see why this has been frustrating, especially after testing across multiple devices/networks and still getting the same “unable to load conversation” issue. That usually points away from a local setup problem. Right now there’s already a pending case being reviewed by the engineering team, so it hasn’t been dismissed or closed out. We don’t have a timeline to share yet, but we’ll update here if there’s movement or a confirmed fix. One thing that would help narrow it down a bit more for others following this thread: * Does this happen mostly with conversations tied to a specific model? * Are the affected chats generally very long / media-heavy threads, or does it happen even on shorter ones? A few people have reported similar behavior where older or longer chats intermittently fail to load across both web and mobile, so this doesn’t seem isolated. -Mark G.
