Developers aren't the target audience for ChatGPT. Why aren't you using their API? It's trivial to generate the type of experience you're looking for. If you're a developer...then develop!
I paid them something like $1k for the business plan for me and my partner for the year and there are no api credits that come with that, unfortunately.
I have used their API for plenty of things already... just not coding.
Realistically, most developers aren't going to roll their own API IDEs.
It's time to switch to the API, then. Not to be glib about it, but an API powered experience where you control the front-end is far more controllable and stable than ChatGPT, which you have no control over.
Are you using codex? They have a cli and a VSC extension.
Or are you using the web ui?
