I've been using ChatGPT Plus extensively for my studies, and I've noticed that over the past few weeks, it's been incredibly slow at times. Longer threads sometimes don't even get a response, and when they do, there's a lot of formatting errors, or it takes forever to generate a reply. Interestingly, the mobile app has been much smoother, but my desktop version often locks up or freezes my browser. It's frustrating, especially since I'm paying 20 bucks a month and sometimes have to wait several minutes for answers. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I'm having the same issue on my desktop. It's practically unusable right now. I've resorted to using the mobile app because it works so much better, but I really wish my desktop experience was smoother.
Yeah, lengthier chats seem to freeze everything up. It can take forever for replies to generate, especially on desktop, while mobile is working fine. Hoping for a fix soon!
I tried the Windows app too, but it didn't help. Maybe I'll check out the macOS app.
As a Plus user, I've noticed it's been slow for me too. I heard that Gemini is way faster if you want to compare it with ChatGPT.
I think the issues might be due to the new updates being rolled out. Something's definitely off lately. It's not just you; lots of folks feel the same way!
I've noticed slowness when I'm just trying to do simple tasks, like removing dashes. Plus, the output style has changed recently, and I’m not a fan of the less insightful responses. Really adding to the frustration.
Same here, the mobile app is definitely more reliable.
