ChatGPT Plus and Usage Limits

I have the Plus version of ChatGpt and for the past 2 days I keep getting the “Limit of requests” message.

I decided to read the ChatGpt terms and conditions and it turns out that my requests may be reduced during peak times.

But the most interesting thing is that the free version of ChatGpt works, and the Plus version does not. This is brilliant.

It’s funny, I am paying Openai for the service and many times I receive incomplete message and have no choice except pressing “Regenerate” icon, and then after that they show me Usage Limits to wait hours.
Who is responsible to this?
if you cannot send a complete answer, I have to wait or pay more?
Looking for alternatives to stop paying anymore.

I am having this exact regeneration error. Gets part way through and stops. If it persists for much longer I’ll probably just cancel my subscription as becomes tedious to use this way.

I just subscribed 2 days ago and I’m unable to use it anymore. It is unfair, and it doesn’t allow me to choose GPT-4 instead of GPT-4o.
I paid for 1 year, expecting not to have such limits as in the free version but it has much more.
Please reconsider you services, this is fraud

Garbage Company? lol. Please tell me you’re a bot.

Round 2 per report and comment deletion… I stand by said comment about said pricing model, and no bot.

John, Query, Have you asked chatGPT how to write the prompt so that you get the best quality information every time the first time? I spend a lot of time having to reissue a prompt because even attaching all the background, chatGPT has hallucinations. FYI GPT told me .txt format uses the fewest tokens to process.

Also, I learned that it is useless to ask chatGPT to continuously output to a file… in order not to lose any of the output when I invariably lose connection (my internet fault). It only output the last bit when I tried.

I tend to clip the article to OneNote, but again that requires a stable internet connection. So I tend to copy and paste across.

I wonder what the impact of our messaging limits will be once Apple fully integrates ChatGPT capabilities into their latest iOS on December 9th.

Additionally, there are many amazing ways to more fully incorporate ChatGPT into our lives, such as the new Chrome Extension, which changes your default search engine to ChatGPT. However, as a paying customer and still having a usage limit makes it concerning to use as such. I wish there was less ambiguity on usage limits so that we could create intentional plans for the best way to leverage our limited usage and maximize the outputs based on what is important to each of us.

The discussion centers on the usage limits experienced by ChatGPT Plus subscribers, notably the unexpected introduction of dynamic caps for GPT-4. cp76 expresses dissatisfaction with not being informed about these limits, citing European consumer protection laws, and raises concerns about the lack of transparency concerning usage monitoring. cloud34380 mentions the usage cap is stated in GPT-4’s FAQ. cp76 counterclaims the FAQ’s data is inconsistent, with their experience showing a 40-message limit every 3 hours, contrary to the 50 mentioned online.

dignity_for_all and many others, including aubrey_ghose, report similar issues with fluctuating limits, suggesting that OpenAI’s communication is lacking, causing inconvenience especially for users engaging in ongoing work. irthomasthomas and FrankBen corroborate these challenges and call for clearer communication, with trevor_schain expressing frustration over downgraded services.

_j reminds users of historical capacity constraints, contrasting with current dissatisfaction. joshuad highlights that custom GPTs have an even lower cap, adding to user frustration about unexpected limits and preference for clarity. Similarly, JPW agrees on the need for visible usage tracking and hints at a preference for tailor-made models like GPT-3.5.

derbengale and maal express strong dissatisfaction, with the latter characterizing the situation as manipulative. Several participants, including skolor and Man, advocate for clearer communication and criticize the changes in service quality without corresponding reductions in subscription costs.

Some users, like jmvilomet, share that language settings can affect usage limits, with non-English (US) locales experiencing a 40-message cap stretched over 3 days, a revelation many find absurd. itsmeaabb points out the impact on larger projects, necessitating workaround strategies like initiating new conversations.

In defense, RonaldGRuckus notes that rate limits are common across subscription services, suggesting patience as the company might resolve these limitations. Observations about subscription waitlists imply volumes may have been underestimated, possibly accounting for the dynamic cap adjustments. Overall, the conversation reveals widespread user dissatisfaction and calls for better communication and more transparent policies from OpenAI.

Where can I find this local setting?

I found https://help.openai.com/en/articles/8983377-which-models-can-i-use-in-voice-conversations by searching their docs, and the link inside to limits page is broken!

I’m beginning to hate chatGPT. You ask it to do a text and it adds its on text or just changes what you have. now because they can’t get things write I hit the wall. absolutely driving me crazy when you are paying for a service.

Hello Everyone, I am So Pissed Right Now. My Chatgpt Usage. Does not even reach 40-50 Messages. And Now. Just reach around 5-7. Help Pls.

What I mean Is That. Instead of 40 Messages for 3 Hours or More. I only Get To Tpye Now around 5-7. Before it says My Limit is F up.

In addition, I get multiple stupid responses, and it is limited. How poor of a paid service, especially when there are thousands waiting to pay.
