That makes sense, thank you for letting me know

Hi, there is a 4000 token limit, which is about 3000 words, probably a bit less for code. So if the request is longer than that, it doesn't get through. This is set by OpenAI so there is no way to get around it.

I will probably add some warning about that to the extension in the future.

Do you minimize the code when submitting? Like removing comments, spaces, tabs, etc... I guess with some JavaScript, if the line doesn't have a ; at the end, that would probably have to be added maybe I just answered my own question

No, the code is not minimised. It would probably save some tokens and allow for longer inputs, but since tokens are more related to words than to characters the difference would not be huge, moreover the code inside the response from the AI would then also be minimised which is not really something we would want.
