Troubleshooting Overload Limits

Error: Overload Limit

You see Yikes! Info Overload or Response Ran Out of Tokens. This means the chat holds more content than the AI model can read at once.

What causes it

  • Large videos with long transcripts

  • Many PDFs or documents connected to one chat

  • A long conversation history

Each model has a token limit (how much text it can read at once):

  • Claude 5 Sonnet: 200k

  • Claude Opus 5.5, Opus 5, Opus 4.8, Opus 4.6: 1 million

  • GPT-5.6 Terra, GPT-5.5, Gemini 3.8 Flash, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, DeepSeek V4 Pro: 1 million

  • GPT-5.4 Mini: 400k

  • Grok 4.7, Grok 4.5: 500k

Fixes

Switch to a model with a bigger limit

Click the model name under the text box and pick Gemini 3.8 Flash, GPT-5.6 Terra or GPT-5.5. Claude Opus models also have 1 million, if your plan includes them.

Connect less

  1. Disconnect files you don't need for this question.

  2. Use separate chats for separate topics.

  3. Connect large files to a separate chat, ask it to extract the key points, put the result in a text box (press "T") and connect that to your main chat.

If the chat is too good to lose: move it to a new chat

  1. Switch to a model with a 1 million limit.

  2. Send: "Summarize all the key learnings and context from our conversation so another chat can pick up exactly where we left off"

  3. Copy the summary into a new chat, or into a text box and connect it.

These fixes also lower your credit usage. See Troubleshooting High Credit Usage.
