Same happens to me today. Gpt4plus doesn’t recognize me anymore, 3.5 yes. But only on one laptop, the one I use most of the time. I have two more laptops and a desktop, they all don’t show this issue. Neither the app on the phone. So it must be a recognition tool at the laptop end. Wonder how long it takes to get this solved, annoying it is for sure.
i have the same problem not able to use GPT 4 even after paying for it, first it kept showing me server errors so i had to regenerate many responses and by the time the error was sorted it showed me i reached my message limit and now having to answer 5 captchas for every enquiry is so annoying. just feels like a huge waste of money
Same here, had to cancel my subscription. Forcing me to solve 5 captchas for each message I want to send makes GPT4 completely unusable
Hi! I solved this problem.
Firstly, download a ChatGPT from App Store in your Ipad or Iphone ( I used Ipad).
Secondly, log in the same account.
Thirdly, send a message in the chatbox in you ipad ChatGPT application.
Then, go back. You will find there is no this problem.
Trying to curb VPN usage amongst paying customers with a 5-stage captcha after EVERY SINGLE MESSAGE is probably one of the most tone-deaf solutions I can possibly think of.
Do you guys have a UX/UI team over there at OpenAI? If so, please consult them and address this extremely frustrating and NON-user-centric pain point ASAP.
It makes ChatGPT unusable and is making me consider ending my subscription as I don’t want to struggle every time I interact with your product.
To echo another paying customer on a related forum thread:
“I have been a plus subscriber since the service launched, I will unsubscribe if this continues until tomorrow. The product is unusable in this state.”
“I am not switching off my VPN just for your product. You already have my email and my credit card information. You don’t need my IP address to conclude I am not a spammer.”
I agree with akaka - but not to the extent of cancelling my subscription. Not allowing the use of a VPN puts users at risk. There should be a better and simpler verification method that does not place openai at risk.
@chatgpt Do you think it would be possible to not ask users to put themselves in harm’s way just so they can use the service they actually pay you money for? Is that too much to ask? How do you not already know enough about us to tell if we are a spammer or not?
Any solutions? After months of using GPT without problems, this just started happening. I’m not using VPN. GPT4 works on my phone but I get a captcha on my laptop after every message.
I’ll chime in and say that this just started happening to me too. I’ve been a GPT Plus subscriber since they offered it. I pay a lot of money for API calls, probably much more than average for an individual user. I just want to use the product without my workflow being interrupted to solve a captcha every couple minutes. It’s very aggressive and it came out of nowhere. After almost an entire year of using the service I’m now being forced to prove I’m human every other post. I’d love to talk to a customer service rep and see if they could unflag my account so I can work in peace.
Summary created by AI.
Multiple paying users of GPT-4, utilizing the OpenAI’s Plus plan, have reported a frustrating issue with CAPTCHA verifications for every user interaction. Users like kelliher, justacustomer, and ITAlex indicated that even a simple conversation with GPT-4 is disturbed by CAPTCHA requests, degrading the user experience despite being Plus subscribers. Others pointed out a chaotic pattern to the problem, with it appearing, disappearing, and reappearing seemingly at random.
Despite attempts at troubleshooting the issue through various methods like different browsers, VPNs, and adblocker settings, the incessant verification requests persist, leaving many users stumped about a lasting solution. User mgl proposed the idea that this issue might be a coercive strategy to shed particular users, arguing that paying users should not need to undergo continuous verification given the platform already has their banking information.
Several users voiced their plan to switch to other products or cancel their subscriptions unless the problem is fixed. BCLGPTUSA suggested a potential workaround of using the ChatGPT mobile app. Other users appealed to OpenAI to consider the user experience and security concerns in evolving its solutions, with _j suggesting that the verifications might be a security measure intended to counter the threat of bot activity. Overall, the GPT-4 community has vocalized a pressing need for a solution to this exasperating verification problem.

Just wanted to add my weight to this. Unable to use ChatGPT because of continuous CAPTCHA requests. Have tried logging out, VPN on and off, clearing cache all to no avail. Multiple requests for support have not solved the issue. There is no reason to flag someone after each question!!! A single request would be annoyong but reasonable but 10 in a row!!
WORKAROUND:
AutoKey Script will send a series of keys mimicing the following:
- Save your current ClipBoard Data
- Then Select what you just typed in OpenAI
- Copy to Clipboard
- Press F5 to get rid of the CAPTCHA
- wait
- Paste what you wrote before CAPTCHA popup
- hit Enter
- and then Put the data you had before in your ClipBoard back in your ClipBoard for later use.
HOW TO MAKE THE SCRIPT:
Download and install AutoHotKey found here autohotkey,com
Fire up Notepad and add this text:
^+Enter:: ; Ctrl+Shift+Enter hotkey
SavedClipboard := ClipboardAll ; Save the current contents of the clipboard
Send, ^a ; Select all
Sleep, 200 ; Pause for 0.2 seconds
Send, ^c ; Copy
Sleep, 200
Send, {F5} ; Refresh
Sleep, 1500
Send, ^v ; Paste
Sleep, 200
Send, {Enter} ; Press Enter
Clipboard := SavedClipboard ; Restore the original contents of the clipboard
SavedClipboard := “” ; Clear the variable to free up memory
Return
Save this text file as %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start\ GPT-Captcha-WrkRnd.ahk
HOW TO RUN:
Double click on your new GPT-Captcha-WrkRnd.ahk AutoHotKey Script and let it run.
(It should not interfere with anything because nothing that I know of uses CtrlShiftEnter By Default)
When you are in OpenAI write some text and hit CTRL SHIFT ENTER
You will bypass the CAPTCHA and be on your way!!
