The GPT Builder has a limit of 10 files per session. Exceeding this limit will result in anError saving draftmessage. Ensuring you have no more than 10 files should resolve this issue.

2. Combine files

By merging your files, you reduce the number of files the GPT Builder needs to handle, thus staying within the 10-file limit and preventing the error message.

3. Upload as messages

Uploading files directly in the message section rather than theConfiguresection allows the GPT to access the information without hitting the file upload limit.

Some users have found that certain browsers handle file uploads better within the GPT Builder. Using a different browser might resolve the issue. Try Opera or Edge instead of Chrome.

This may also be caused by using too much bandwidth with multiple tabs in the browser so closing the ones you don’t need will lead to a better upload speed.

Large files can sometimes cause upload errors. Compressing them makes it easier for the GPT Builder to handle the uploads.

Some errors might be specific to certain files that failed to upload correctly. Using developer tools helps identify and rectify these issues.

By following these solutions, you should be able to address theError saving draftissue in the ChatGPT GPT Builder efficiently.
