ChatGPT Plus User Limits, valid for 2025

What’s the limits now, for all the plus users? I’ve started to create a table. Let’s add all the limits that apply for 2025 until now. Thanks.

Let’s correct. Where did I note down wrong?

Model / Service Limit Period Plus‑tier Limit
GPT‑4o 3 hours ~150 messages / 3 hrs
GPT‑4o mini – (auto‑throttle) Included in GPT‑4o cap; auto‑downgrades when cap is hit
GPT‑4.5 7 days ~50 messages per week
GPT‑4.1 / GPT‑4.1 mini TBD Replacing GPT‑4.5 in API (from July 14, 2025); limits not published yet
o3‑mini‑high 1 day 50/day for Plus; Pro is unlimited
o3 Same auto‑management; Pro is unlimited
o3‑pro Pro only; unlimited for high‑reliability tasks
Deep Research 1 month 25 queries/month (15 lightweight); Free users get 5 lightweight

Additional Notes:

  • Deep Research: Can analyze text, images, and PDFs; generates reports with citations.
  • DALL-E 3: Limits may reduce to 20 prompts per 3 hours during peak usage.
  • Custom GPTs: File upload limit of 20 files, each up to 512MB. For more about Custom GPT limits see here.
  • Projects: Supports Canvas for coding, voice mode, web search, and other integrations.
  • Usage limits and features may change; always check official documentation for updates.

Please let’s correct together where it’s wrong so we can solve it together until it’s correct - at least for now :slight_smile:

EDIT: Updated today (13th of June, 2025).

Mine doesn´t say O1 Preview…

it’s o1, o3 Mini and o3 Mini High

I just got a message saying I have 25 o1 messages yet until tomorrow 16:00. So I am not sure it’s weekly or daily. If it’s weekly, is it a coincidence it will reset TOMORROW?

That’s definitely true. We got no o1-preview anymore. Thanks for the help @rogerpenna :slight_smile: So, changed it right now.

I’m struggling to find updated info for ChatGPT Plus


. The OpenAI information seems out of date and Perplexity is definitely giving me outdated information :woman_shrugging:t2:

I’m using o1 a lot today, no warning messages. But I have more important things to do later with a foggy brain and I’m going to need a thinking model available… Why would o1 be much more restricted than o3?

Deep research limit seems real, I got through that very quickly. I can’t use o3 models inside Projects but that doesn’t seem to be a rate limiting type of issue?

The information I got was:

GPT-4: 40 messages every 3 hours (includes custom GPTs).
• GPT-4o: 80 messages every 3 hours.
• GPT-4.5: 50 messages per week.
• GPT-4o mini: Unlimited usage.
• o3-mini: 150 messages per day.
• o3-mini-high: 50 messages per day.
• o1-preview: 50 messages per week.
• DALL-E 3 (image generation): 40 prompts every 3 hours, up to 200 images daily.
• Deep Research Tool: 10 queries per month.
• Projects: Up to 20 projects with 20 files each (512MB/file, 2M tokens total). Saw this on Threads

I didn’t put the limits for free tier in here for now.
That’s why the headline already states:

ChatGPT PLUS USER LIMITS…

I‘ve noticed that using 4o is also using up GPT-4 limits. When I reach a certain amount of 4o messages (about half) 4 gets a cooldown but 4o does not. Also it’s probably irrelevant now since 4 is going to end this month.

Where is o4-mini, o4-mini-high and o3?

I posted this before they came out and didn’t update since. Because I got to work a lot in my daytime job rightnow. When I got time I’ll update.

looks like the input to update the info about o3, o4-mini-high and o4-mini could get from here → https://help.openai.com/en/articles/9824962-openai-o3-and-o4-mini-usage-limits-on-chatgpt-and-the-api

With a ChatGPT Plus, Team or Enterprise account, you have access to 100 messages a week with o3, 100 messages a day with o4-mini-high, and 300 messages a day with o4-mini.

Let’s wait until they’re clearer about ChatGPT 5 and stuff. Because I think this will be changing a lot throughout the next days. Because, recently I could have updated this almost daily. BUT, I won’t do this. And I still got a daytime job. LOL

Has any limits been published or found out for 4.1? If I don’t use canvas then I at least have the option to click continue generating (paid user), but when I use canvas the generation just stops and I have to ask the chat to give me the rest of the code (but it often starts on the new line even if the last line wasn’t completed, which is a huge pain in the ass).

I don’t know. Did you find anything yourself? I have very little time recently to research this even using ChatGPT because I am pretty much occupied.

BUT, as far as announcted it seems like 4.5 will be soon removed, most likely at the end of the month, if that’s true.
