Somewhat off topic, but I'm getting a lot of network errors lately. Has anyone else noticed an increase? I'm also curious if any Plus users here can share their experience...

Yeah, this is a bug. Check out the Discord server and you'll see thousands of people currently reporting this: https://discord.com/channels/974519864045756446/104756537464...

I suspect this will be resolved at some point soon.

I think only those with free account are affected. I have 2 accounts - 1 free & 1 paid. All my chats in the free account are gone, but I still have my chats in paid account.

I just had this issue with my paid account. I just canceled the renewal today, expiring in a few weeks, so I chalked it up to a clumsy downgrading system. Looks like not.

This happened before. It seems like chat history is a separate (micro)service with lower-than-perfect availability. It came back last time, and have no reason to believe it wouldn't this time.
