Why am I getting a ChatGPT unknown error when uploading pdf?

I am trying to upload a pdf on ChatGPT, but it keeps showing an unknown error. What could be the reason, and how do I fix it?
 
That usually happens when there’s a bug or the file is too big. Try these:
  • Refresh the page and upload again.
  • Rename the PDF (simple name, no special characters).
  • Make sure the file isn’t huge (keep it under 20MB to be safe).
  • If it still fails, try a different browser.
Sometimes it’s just ChatGPT acting up — waiting a bit and trying again works too.
