How can I update the backstory each time I open a connection between the user and the chatbot, In my project I will have thousands of avatars, but I would like to have only a few avatars and remove and add new backstory each time I use them. Or some other way to let the chatbot a history backstory at game time. With professional level I only get 100 time per month, but I can go to the web site and update the backstory as many times as needed. Why? When my project is release, I will be using the Business plan and have more the one account. ( I hope to release sometime this summer ) I using unreal 5.3

Hello @ddennis,

Yes, you’re correct that updating a character’s backstory via the Character Update API is possible, but it comes with usage limits.

If your goal is to dynamically provide information to the character during runtime,such as game-specific context or user-specific data, we recommend using the Dynamic Information feature instead. This allows you to inject real-time context without permanently modifying the character’s backstory.

You can learn more about how this works here: [Dynamic Environment Info](https://docs.convai.com/api-docs/plugins-and-integrations/unreal-engine/guides/dynamic-environment-info)

One more question, if you use “Dynamic Environment Info” is it only set one time per session or can you use multiple times. Thanks again.
