Usage cap it too limited at times

Some context, I use Dalle3 and custom GPT’s to create illustrations for graphic novels. Which means I generate A LOT of images. This morning, I was only able to generate 13 images before getting the message that I had hit the usage cap and had to wait TWO HOURS before being able to do anything else. This feels a bit extreme for a paid service. Are there other solutions in the works that would maybe prevent such harsh caps? I’m curious if anyone else has this same issue. This happened at roughly 9am this morning. I can use 3.4, but it will not use my custom gpt which has all the information I pull from.

Have you tried an API tool that uses DALLE?

I have not, I wasn’t aware such a thing existed. Do you have any suggestions I could try or are you suggestion I create one? Appreciate any help with this.
Thanks!

There’s quite a few tools now. It depends on what you’re creating.

Not too hard to get your own up and running if you have a server.

Images from API cost $0.04 for square non-HD, so you can see how the costs on ChatGPT add up quickly …
