I don’t know how many times today I’ve seen “network error” or “something went wrong”. Then of course once I finally start making some progress, I’ve hit the 50 message GPT-4 cap.
If you’re going to be a paid service, it’s only reasonable to expect that the service is reliable. I think after this amount of time it’s fair to start calling for some improvements for paying customers when your company is raking in hundreds of millions in revenue.
I’ve been experiencing the exact same circumstance. Easily, in less than 4 hours, at least 20/50 messages are unsuccessful due to consistent network errors, definitely not on my end but on GPT’s end. OpenAI is totally aware that the cap feels too short for its paying users. This is the message I keep seeing in every forum from OpenAI employees, “Well, we just don’t have the infrastructure to give you more bandwidth” then what am I paying so much for? $20/month is steep and it’s starting to feel steeper. Be realistic guys, it’s been over a year. I can’t temper my annoyance any longer, this service has started to become too unreliable.
It’s ridiculous that people keep accepting that as an excuse when OpenAI is pulling in insane amounts of revenue. The “it’s new and we’re figuring it out” phase passed when they decided to start charging for it in my opinion, but at this point it’s just unacceptable period.
Tons of “network error” messages today. Wasted my usage cap again. I’m assuming OpenAI doesn’t need to care that much about paying customers. There’s a waitlist to get in after all: Waiting-list for chatgpt plus
Hopefully competition catches up quick. Google-Gemini, Grok, etc. Take our money!
