How to solve "Chat Error"?

[deepvelop99]

I use a Chrome extension to work on Overleaf.

Hi, thank you for reporting. Sorry, that is not supposed to happen — we are still in the midst of stabilizing and ensuring production-grade reliability this month of December, so we apologize if some features are not yet stable.

That said, could you elaborate further on the steps you took? Normal chat and MCP features should still work normally, so it would help us pinpoint the error if you could share what you did.

It's just that when I select only some paragraphs from the text, the chat will display such an error.

@deepvelop99 @Jiadong-zhang Thank you for your report. This seems to be a network issue. Could a firewall be blocking the connection?

I met the same issue. Is there any solutions right now?

Hey @yangziyiiii, @deepvelop99 and @Jiadong-zhang, thanks for reporting the issue, are you using https://cn.overleaf.com?

We just released a new version, however it may take a while for Chrome to accept and update the extension.

It still seems to have bugs. The current version is 'v2.10.18-0ef389', and it raises the Chat Error.

Does this mean that the logged-in Google/Overleaf account needs access to GPT-4.1?

Indeed. So, is there an alternative login option aside from Google and Overleaf accounts?
