Have you spent hours fine-tuning your chatbot to organize client notes, draft a weekly email, or map out your next product launch—only to have the conversation reset and lose everything? 😩 It’s a frustrating experience for many solo nutrition practitioners using AI for efficiency.
Here’s why this happens—and how to avoid the headache.
Chatbot Limits: Why Conversations Reset
Most chatbots, including ChatGPT and Claude, have token limits—a measure of how much text they can remember in a single session. Once you reach this limit, the chatbot forgets the entire conversation and forces you to start fresh.
💡 How much text can they handle before resetting?
- Free plans: About 25 double-spaced pages of text (approximate)
- Paid plans: ChatGPT Plus (~380 pages), Claude Pro (~600 pages)
- They all reset eventually! Even high-token limits will fill up over time.
⚠️ Casual users won’t get a warning when nearing the token limit—it just starts “forgetting.”
How to Avoid Losing Your Work
- Start fresh with structure. Each session is independent, so tell the chatbot how to format responses every time.
- Ask for a chat summary. Before you risk hitting a limit, say: “Summarize our conversation into key points, including main takeaways, actionable steps, important details, and unresolved questions. Use bullet points or numbered lists for clarity.”
- Copy important responses into a separate document to preserve them.
By using these strategies, you can make AI work for you, instead of losing hours of work when a reset happens!
