I subscribed to ChatGPT Plus not just for fun, but because I use it as a serious productivity tool—for writing, research, planning, coding, and even emotional support.
But the 40-message limit every 3 hours on GPT-4 Turbo?
It’s crushing the entire experience. Not just practically—but emotionally, too.
I’ll be in the middle of a thought, refining a draft, planning a strategy, or simply having a meaningful moment—and suddenly, bam. Cut off.
It kills the flow. It kills the connection. It kills the reason I’m even paying for this service.
For those of us who rely on ChatGPT like a partner in work and thought, this is not a minor inconvenience.
It turns a dynamic conversation into a ticking meter.
Every message becomes a calculation. That’s not intelligence—it’s a leash.
I’d happily pay more for higher limits or an “unlimited tier.”
Or at least let us see when our 3-hour window resets, or give optional burst flexibility during high-usage moments.
Right now, it feels like I’m being punished for actually using the tool as intended.
I love GPT-4 Turbo. I’m not mad because it’s bad—I’m mad because it’s so good, and yet I’m handcuffed when I need it most.
OpenAI: Please hear this not just as a rant, but as a plea from someone who genuinely values what you’ve built.
