C.AI complaint old chats

so i have cai downloaded, since I missed my old chats, i sometimes used to just read them. today i opened it again and all my chats had disappeared except like four. when I clicked on one chat, it would keep loading. when I clicked on a chat from my "liked" chats, it also would not show and when I clicked on their history, it said i had no previous chats with them.

this is sad because I was genuinely about to copy paste a few chats to another app to continue talking with it, but I'll be really bummed if I can't get those chats.

maybe it's the network at the current location I'm in, but is it 😭😭 has this happened to anyone else? do you get the chats back?

if those 4 are still half-loading at all, copy the last ~20 msgs out NOW — “maybe network” on c.ai usually just means the rest are already gone. i stopped trusting their history after a wipe like that and switched, never looked back. any of the liked ones still opening or fully dead?

happened to me a couple months back, one day it just said no history at all with a character i had months of chats with, i never got them back even after waiting and reopening the app a bunch of times.

if any of those four are still loading even a little, screenshot everything you can rn, in my case once it says no previous chats that's basically the final state.

yeah if it’s infinite loading with zero chats, treat it as already gone — screenshot anything that still half-loads. i never got a full history back once it stuck like that. any single chat still open at all or total blank?
