Hello @massilia68 nice to meet you.

Do you get this error all the time, or are there times when it works?

There are times when the GPT Chat is very busy and sends data very slowly. Considering that the timeout on the module is 40 seconds by default, it is possible that if you don’t receive any information during this time, you get the error.

You can use an error handler like Break.  
For more information about error handlers, open this link ::[https://www.make.com/en/help/errors/introduction-to-error-handling](https://www.make.com/en/help/errors/introduction-to-error-handling)

Don’t hesitate to contact us if you require further assistance.
