this seems like it should be something that is obvious. removing an attachment from chat as well as a notification that if you add an attachment you will be locked into using GPT-4o and mini isn’t available to be used with attachments.
something like if you are adding an attachment ChatGPT will let you know of the limitations and ask if you want to add the file to the chat?
I agree removal of attachments is a necessary feature - I didn’t even want to include an attachment - I just pasted text from a word document into the query and it automatically created a .png file of that text and now I can’t continue working in the thread that has all of the needed context… quite frustrating.
I also agree. Its kinds strange that I wrote with her like… A dozen more messages, already moved on to other topic, only to get hit with:
“Woups! You used your limit of free responses because there is an attachment, that already has nothing to do anymore with the current stuff you work on! But because you send it in here once… Well… Why dont you subscribe for 22€ a Month?” … Why cant I just remove the already redundant attachment? Also… 22 is wayyyyyy to much… For 10 or 12 I would just suscribe at that point but 22… Bruh… Guys… I guess I just have to wait now…
True. Its super frustrating! Im currently working on some project with ChatGPT, but every time my ideas are flowing, or we’re getting to the juicy bits, I get slapped with the " Youve hit the limit, wait 4 hours. You need -4o to continue because you have an attachment." It really makes me wish I could just remove them and continue; albeit with another model. I sent The OpenAI Team an email concerning it, but I suspect the response was AI generated. Lets keep our fingers crossed and wait to see for now.
I just got hit with this very similar situation, but even worse. I was so distracted by a funny joke 4o put out that i pasted a meme, almost in autopilot mode.
Later on i realized that that was a stupid mistake…
I agree. I was troubleshooting something on my laptop (it wouldn’t open no matter what, so this was important), when I asked 4o to give me some visual demonstrations. I had passed that point now, and didn’t need them anymore, but every few messages it tells me: “Uh oh! You tried to get a visual demonstration of fixing something with all of your important data, and even though you don’t need it right now, mini will be shocked when they see this! You’re going to have to wait… let’s see… 4 hours at this rate. Have fun copy and pasting everything to a new chat! Oh, and remember: we have a character limit for messages. Goodbye!”
Like, come on, just let me fix my laptop already. It should rather say something like, “Your limit for GPT 4o has expired. You can use mini for this chat, but you won’t be able to create, process, or provide context on previous images.” I would pay the $20 / month, but I don’t need it much other than to restore my dying laptop, and it really isn’t worth it if I can get a mechanic around instead of using AI.
