According to Techradar’s report, ChatGPT has a word limit. however, reports vary as to what that number is. While some say GPT-4 yields around 25,000 words, author Jeremy Nguyen claims it’s around 8,000 words. Most users don’t tend to hit this limit, but it does mean that ChatGPT can get cut off even mid-sentence if your current conversation takes too long.
As a result, in such a situation, you will have to start a brand new conversation. This can also be extremely frustrating if your conversation is not over and you need more information.
CHATGPT INVENTED ITS OWN “COMPRESSED” LANGUAGE
The version of ChatGPT, based on the next-generation GPT-4 language model, seems to have overcome this problem by inventing its own “compressed” language. This new compression language was named Shogtongue by Twitter user gfodor.
According to the information obtained, the “Shogtongue” compression language allows you to exceed the word count and thus continue your conversation. This seems to be extremely useful, especially if your ChatGPT usage has turned into a month-long chat (or if you just need a buddy to remember everything you’ve said in the past).

According to Nguyen, ChatGPT doesn’t generate a compressed message for you when words run out. You still have to ask it to compress the current conversation with very specific instructions.
It is also stated that this language is not perfect yet. According to Nguyen, GPT-3.5 cannot read compressed language. It works best on the GPT-4 version.
