Summary

A user reports that their Claude AI model lost all its memory and custom settings, seeking advice on how to recover or fix it.

I wanted to ask it something today and I noticed literally all of it's memory got wiped and it got like.. really stupid. I set it up to not just be an agreeing machine, to be direct, to not use em dashes, etc but it just forgot literally everything it knew, whether it's these instructions or context about me. Does anyone else have this issue, is there a fix? My previous conversations are still there but it would be a pain to manually make it remember over a year of stuff. It was so good to have an actually objective LLM that wasn't just "you're not at fault, you were in survival mode and honestly— that’s growth 🌱” but it’s back to this now for whatever reason
