Free ChatGPT (4o) is not able to access the internet from the past few days

ChatGPT used to be able to access the internet very easily all the time, but from the past few days it refuses to do so, is there any reason for this?

Has internet access been removed from it following the release of SearchGPT?

Hi @Nakshatra02 :wave:

I just tested on a FREE account. I used more then 15 prompts to browse on web. It worked well.

Although after 10 prompts it says following phrase, but you are able to use web search. I did not see the limit of using of web search on FREE account:

You’ve hit the Free plan limit for GPT-4o.
Responses will use another model until your limit resets after …

When you see the phrase above, just add at the beginning in your input:

Browse internet and find …

and add your question.

Hi, peace to you.
I met a same problem, it is easy to solve.
If you use Chrome GPT is not able to connect the internet, but if you use Edge GPT is able to connect the internet.
