Hey everyone

I’m a paid Genspark user and I’ve been running into two issues recently. Wanted to check if anyone else is experiencing the same.

1. Edit and copy buttons completely gone

About 12 hours ago, I noticed the two icons at the bottom right of my sent messages - the edit button and the copy button - both disappeared at the same time. And it’s not just old messages. Even a message I just sent, like literally just hit send and stop, no edit button. Can’t edit anything at all. If I want to copy something I sent, I have to manually highlight and copy it.

Before this, I could go back and edit any old message no problem - even messages from days ago with dozens of messages after them. Super useful when I needed to fix an instruction or change direction from an earlier point in a long conversation.

2. Context getting compressed way earlier, AI keeps forgetting things

This one has been going on for about 10 days now. The AI forgets what I said earlier in the conversation, misunderstands context, and the conversation gets compacted way sooner than before. I used to be able to work in a long chat and the AI would keep track of everything just fine. Now it doesn’t take long before I see the compact notification, and after that the AI basically forgets everything.

Someone on Reddit described the exact same thing:
 https://www.reddit.com/r/genspark_ai/comments/1vijy1f/ai_chat_context_got_way_worse_in_the_last_2_days/

And there was an earlier post where someone analyzed this with a tokenizer and found that Genspark compresses context way before the model’s actual limit - for example DeepSeek V4 Pro supports 1 million tokens but Genspark starts compressing at around 100k, so only 1/10 of the context window is actually used. A Genspark employee (u/alli-genspark) replied to that post and confirmed it’s a “product tradeoff around cost and performance” - not a bug:

Why this is frustrating

This isn’t the first time Genspark has quietly cut things back. Looking at the pattern:

First, AI Chat and AI Image were advertised as “unlimited” for Plus/Pro users. Then session rate limits were silently introduced - use too much and you get locked out for 5 hours. A lot of people have reported this, including annual subscribers who got hit with limits mid-contract with no warning:
 https://www.reddit.com/r/genspark_ai/comments/1sdqmtq/genspark_unlimited_chat_is_anything_but_hit_with/
 https://www.reddit.com/r/genspark_ai/comments/1skw316/annual_subscriber_here_service_became_unusable/

Then context compression got more aggressive. And now the edit and copy buttons are gone too. Overall the experience has gotten significantly worse compared to when I first subscribed - while the subscription itself isn’t exactly cheap either.

I get that Genspark needs to manage API costs. But paying users should get what they’re paying for. Silently cutting things back over and over without any communication is really hard to accept.

To the Genspark team (if you’re reading this)

I know you guys are active on this subreddit so I’ll just ask directly: are the missing edit/copy buttons and the earlier context compression bugs or intentional changes? If they’re bugs, is there a plan to fix them? If they’re intentional, I’d really appreciate it if you could reconsider and find a more reasonable approach for paid users.

Anyone else?

Curious if others have noticed:

• Can you still see the edit and copy buttons on your sent messages?
• Is the AI forgetting context earlier than before?
• Any known Genspark update recently that might explain these changes?

Thanks!
