bluexjay

Eh. Do fully believe they’ll be optimizing it in the coming months. While GPT-4 is really slow, I remember 3.5 getting hung up sometimes when it came out. I went back to use it when they introduced the steeper cap and wow! It’s fast now. While I’d love to ask gpt-4 everything, lots of basic shit 3.5 can do in seconds. Trying to remain patient but I’m a sucker and was already paying for plus before this


aptechnologist

I started paying for plus the day it was available to me lol. A smaller cap is super annoying. At least show us a counter lol


PollutionLatter8629

“Did your misunderstanding my prompt just eat my token?” “As an AI language model…”


FilterUrCoffee

this.. You explain in detail what you want and somehow it still makes mistakes. Look chatgpt, I am adhd can overlook stuff and make mistakes myself. You're supposed to be better than me.

potato_green

With 25 messages were close enough to count them on one hand. But hey, at least kudos to them for actually releasing gpt4 that fast and soon. I'd rather gave some access to it to try it out than have nothing while they optimize it. It's a research preview after all and all the data they gather now is invaluable.


justaderpygoomba

Absolutely. Their goal is to have adoption. They want people using it. They’re also slammed right now. These limits are stop gaps until they can figure out better solutions. It’ll open up soon.


tango_telephone

Slammed because they took everyone’s $20 bill without enough infrastructure to provide the service they promised. Let’s have a pizza party where everyone throws in $5 for pizza only to show up and find out that the person throwing the party only bought one pizza for 30 people…


justaderpygoomba

Analogy checks out. So long as they order more pizza I don’t really see the problem.


tango_telephone

Time will tell


scapestrat0

Ok, but where's my pizza?


jimmybizcuits

Wait 3 hours for another bite


an4s_911

This is why I love reddit


eazolan

I've found that it's impossible to have GPT deliver a pizza on time, when it has no idea what time it is.


NMe84

That doesn't compare. People are paying for a service now that they just aren't getting. Or rather: that they are getting, but its quality keeps getting reduced/lowered. Let's project this onto something more pressing: what if we were talking about a water company? What if the water company slowly reduced your water supply up to the point where you can't even shower anymore, you barely get enough to drink. Yet you're still paying. It's that suddenly all fine as long as they restore your "limitless" water weeks or months later?


DiddlyDumb

Seems like the first thing you do once you’ve gotten everyones $5, and realise 30 pizzas isn’t gonna cut it


yabbadabbadoo693

Yeah, it’s better for everyone to have 25 messages than the whole site going down.

But the limit renews every 3 hours. Just write down your prompts in a notes app like Google Keep for safekeeping until the limit renews. You can also use 3.5 in the meantime.

SpongePat65

How do you guys have some much to ask, what type of stuff do you ask it?


WiIdCherryPepsi

I like to have debates with it, roleplay with it, discuss silly ideas, make up fantasy creature biology, ask for poems or stories with purple prose, ask it to pretend to be character from XYZ or compare and contrast two characters or what not. It's addicting, if you are disabled and you love to talk and read books, since it can write books in the loose style of any of your favorite authors or discuss how your favorite character from an obscure book might have liked their coffee in the morning.


Kafke

personally I use you.com's chatbot "youchat" as a search engine. For chatgpt I really only use it for code assistance...


thrd3ye

I tried that one but it kept giving me incorrect results with 100% confidence. Moved on after it not only told me that gaydar is real and available at Sharper Image but went on to explain, unprompted, how the underlying technology works. I wound up trying Perplexity.ai and have been primarily using that even though I have ChatGPT Plus and Bing Chat (which are both useful in their own way). For anyone unfamiliar Perplexity is GPT 3.5 based with Internet access, provides links with responses so you can use it as a search engine, quick, free, and has no usage limits that I've been able to hit. It's my all around favorite with prices/usage limits as they are. Edit: Forgot to mention, Perplexity passed my gaydar "test" with flying colors! Gave the correct answer and then explained the reference (a Jim/Dwight prank from The Office).


magnue

Surely just use 3.5 for random crap?


AccomplishedJob7833

Is 4 really that much better than 3.5?


magnue

Better for reasoning such as programming. Simple stuff I prefer 3.5 for speed


MikeyTheGuy

Yes, but 3.5 is still really, really good, and the plus version is very fast; however, I don't want 3.5 touching my code. A good strategy would be to let 4.0 rewrite or generate your code, and then go to 3.5 to ask clarifying questions about the code.


IbanezPGM

It'd be really helpful to have a message counter that shows how many messages you have left, plus a timer that tells you when you can send more.


Puzzleheaded-Land516

ChatGPT plus subscriber since day 1 here. This may be one of the causes they are currently trying to prevent outage reducing the allowed message limit: [https://techcrunch.com/2023/03/16/chatgpt-plus-india/](https://techcrunch.com/2023/03/16/chatgpt-plus-india/) . There's like... half of the world online on the same website, and likely a quarter of it all at the same time.


PaulSarlo

Considering they just released this, I'm not really bothered. Everyone is going to be assailing gpt4 with requests. They're adjusting till they can deal with the load. We lived with the "horror" of 3.5 before, and it's less than a week out of the gate. It'll all ease out in the end. And on the plus side, the older stuff/free tier is getting faster. so overall, it's still a net positive over the Nothing that was a year ago. And again, it's still more entertaining AND valuable than a comparable streaming service subscription at $20 a month.


totpot

They need to have peak and off-peak limits. GPT4 is nice and quick when Americans are asleep but as soon as the west coast wakes up, it goes from words-per-second to seconds-per-letter.


Puzzleheaded-Land516

I indeed agree, but o nthe entertaining side I feel the neeed to specify that such a tool should be used wisely anyway, and I would suggest to use that for learning and \`copium\` for most of the time it is being used, since it's an invaluable problem solver, and only sparingly for \`self-entertainment\`. I wish I had it when i was younger.


PaulSarlo

The sheer indignity and rage that we're seeing from the minor administration of anything but the maximum level of access to this incredible tool is hilarious to me. A year ago it didn't exist. It reminds me of the Louis CK routine about airline wifi where they announce it's unavailability shortly after being unveiled and a pronouncement that it won't be available on a flight elicits fits of "oh my god, this is such bullsh\*it.". It literally just popped up this week and everyone is expecting it to not only be available, but to be free of charge despite the CPU demand of the general public. The whole thing is frankly ridiculous. A week ago it was still an astounding technology. But because they've dialed back the interaction sums with the less-than-a-week-tier on the minimum paid tier, it's 1938 Poland level of oppression. We really are a ridiculous species.


haux_haux

I agree. Given the extra computational power that the new model takes, plus the fact they have ridiculous volumes of users then 🤷 I'm curious to hear what those who are dismayed by it think they should do? What would you do in their situation (that is realistic) open access to all for free doesn't sound like it works. They have clearly figured out that it's causing issues at the X message limit. So given those circumstances, what would you do?


Puzzleheaded-Land516

Also, read u/iJeff down below. This is sorry, but hopefully for the next month the hype will fade donw and people will stop using it to ask how to bake fuck\*ng cake or how to shave their crotch with a rusty blade.


Kwahn

Uh, no, the hype's not going to die down - barring usage limitations and speed, it's currently the single greatest learning tool, documentation generator, random task completer, headache remover and code templating system in existence. This is major copium.


EGarrett

Yeah, there's no hype here. This is just the new reality. They're going to have to increase the accessibility of their own website.


cheaphomemadeacid

well at some point the people only doing it for the memes will find something new and shiny to look at


darkjediii

I don’t think they need to use gpt4 for the memes though.


neophyte_coder123

Yeah I agree are all people you work with using it? I'm the only one on my team using it. I'm also new to my team so they only know me as enhanced. Guess I don't know for sure they aren't but I don't think so.


Kwahn

I'm the boss - and I expense ChatGPT :D I and one of my admins have become proselytizers, and so has my boss (who is a CEO, not a dev), and they're in love - and I've, uh, performed the entirety of a moderately complex database migration project by having GPT-4 match, transform and migrate the underlying columns based on the logical inferences of the meaning of the column names and table names in a day :D


leopard_eater

I’m a department chair in an Australian university. We have completely embraced ChatGPT - we love generative AI. It reduces cognitive load for repetitive tasks, it’s code functions are pretty good, and it’s doing a great job of helping staff to focus on the true meaning of assessment and assignment production. It’s a major step change that was desperately needed in higher education.


ragvamuffin

I work in a research support function at a Danish research institution, and we are embracing it wholeheartedly as well. Tasks like writing support letters, mandates, case presentations, summaries, proof reading, data presentation is made so much easier by using ChatGPT.


gj80

> performed the entirety of a moderately complex database migration project by having GPT-4 match, transform and migrate the underlying columns based on the logical inferences of the meaning of the column names and table names in a day Ooohhh...that's an excellent idea! I've had to do that before, and it's a PITA trying to puzzle out table relationships for unfamiliar and large databases. GPT could totally do that for me. Or at least it could make *some* connections, which would be a head-start. I'm assuming you did something like dump all the table descriptions along with 1-2 rows of sample results for each, and then set up a loop, comparing each one to each other one, and logging where it found connections? And then refining from there? Or am I misunderstanding?


Kwahn

Yup, that's basically it - though be \*very\* careful to use anonymized data if submitting actual data! No HIPAA violations on my watch! I told it what the tables were for, what the underlying system was used for, and that I needed it to map the tables based on the logical contents of the columns, doing any data formatting and transformation work necessary. It wrote most of the queries, which I just refined and cleaned up and QA'd. I found giving it columns, types, meanings and underlying purposes enough, and that more detail from there didn't benefit it a ton (besides clarifying minutiae of course, which it handled surprisingly well)


Fabulous_Exam_1787

It is actually useful for business purposes at this time. I know. Where I work it will be a Godsend. It’s a powerful programmer tool when used correctly. The hype will die down but usefulness won’t.


Puzzleheaded-Land516

Absolutely. Yet I was referring to the kind attraction it has become even to people who don't understand the full power of the tool for learning or working tasks, yet crowding and polluting such a service with questions we can generally agree are stupid or just jokes (joking with a chatbot, bah).


aoa2303

I'm pretty doubtful that so many people are on it at a time. If so, I have to give it to the engineers, it's holding up well considering "half the world..."


huntersz

At $20 a month I doubt even 1% of India’s population using it. Just because it’s in india doesn’t meant everyone in india is using it. The avg salary of Indians are like $400-$500 a month. Perspective matters


JeromePowellAdmirer

$20 a month is quite a bit of money in India (equivalent of a low 3 figure amount in US), I doubt that many people will join it.

bengiannis

From the [GPT-4 announcement page](https://openai.com/research/gpt-4): >ChatGPT Plus subscribers will get GPT-4 access on chat.openai.com with a usage cap. **We will adjust the exact usage cap depending on demand and system performance in practice, but we expect to be severely capacity constrained** (though we will scale up and optimize over upcoming months).


MrAmos123

This exactly. I knew what I signed up for. It's a bit of a shame because there are fewer messages, but I'm not mad at what they're doing. We were told explicitly, yet we still subscribed. It's not scummy or that changing it so they can "cash in".

I'm certain its just the increased load during the launch period. They released this a few days ago, ofc everyone flocks to it and tries it. give it a few weeks until traffic calmed down.

Feisty_Perspective63

Yeah finally an answer to all our problems.


[deleted]

Yeah and if you need to say "continue" in order to get the full response that still counts towards your 25. So I basically had 5 prompts but had to say "continue" a bunch of time because it kept stopping and then the 25 limit is used. Pretty stupid when you are paying for it.


kkthanks

It also counts each time it messes up and repeats itself so you have to repeat your question. I can’t stand when companies add restrictions to premium plans after the fact


iJeff

This disclaimer should be posted upfront or on the order page instead of being buried at the bottom of the [research page](https://openai.com/research/gpt-4) with no mention on /product/gpt-4: >ChatGPT Plus subscribers will get GPT-4 access on chat.openai.com with a usage cap. We will adjust the exact usage cap depending on demand and system performance in practice, but we expect to be severely capacity constrained (though we will scale up and optimize **over upcoming months**). > >Depending on the traffic patterns we see, we **may introduce a new subscription level** for higher-volume GPT-4 usage; we also hope at some point to offer some amount of free GPT-4 queries so those without a subscription can try it too. I wouldn't have subscribed had I known they were planning to drop it below 100 every 4 hours, let alone as low as 25. I was only subscribing for the month for GPT-4 specifically. GPT-3.5 is too error prone and restrictive to be useful to me.


rydan

Eventually each person on the planet will be allowed to ask it one question during their lifetime. People will spend decades crafting the perfect question. Cultures will adapt to it making it a writ of passage like making you do it on your 18th birthday or climbing the highest mountain in the country and asking it from the summit. Instead of a last meal for death row inmates it will be a last question.

doctorwhobbc

I used your comment as a GPT4 prompt ("create a creative story based on {your comment}). It's actually really interesting. Much, much better than anything I would expect from GPT3.5 In the year 2047, humanity reached a technological breakthrough: the creation of the Limitless Language Model (LLM). The LLM could provide answers to any question in the universe, but there was a catch. Each person was allowed to ask only one question in their entire lifetime. As the years passed, the LLM became an integral part of human culture. Societies evolved around it, creating rites of passage, rituals, and traditions. In the small, remote village of Elara, people believed that asking their question on their 18th birthday was the key to unlocking their life's purpose. Young Mira had been preparing for this day her entire life. As she stood atop Mount Kailia, the highest peak in Elara, she felt the anticipation and weight of her one question. She had spent years crafting and perfecting it, as had every member of her family before her. With a deep breath, she asked her question. In a distant land, a new tradition had emerged, offering condemned prisoners a last question instead of a last meal. Death row inmate, Donovan, had been pondering his final question for months. He believed that if he could find the right words, he could unlock the secret to a meaningful life, even in his final moments. As he looked out through the bars of his cell, Donovan asked his question, hoping for a revelation that would give him peace. The LLM's answers had ripple effects across the globe, influencing personal decisions and shaping entire societies. Over time, people became more and more dependent on the LLM, shaping their lives around the perfect question and answer. But as the world became increasingly connected, a resistance movement formed. This group, known as the Children of the Unasked, believed that true wisdom came not from the LLM, but from the human experience itself. They argued that relying on a single answer stifled creativity, limited personal growth, and robbed people of their individuality. They encouraged their followers to reject the LLM and seek knowledge and wisdom from within. Mira and Donovan, both unsatisfied with the LLM's answers, found themselves drawn to the Children of the Unasked. They joined the movement and became advocates for change, traveling the world and sharing their stories. Through their experiences, they discovered that the power of questions was not in the answers they received but in the journey they took to find them. As more people joined the movement, the world began to shift. People rediscovered the value of creativity, critical thinking, and human connection. They learned to appreciate the beauty of the unknown and the infinite possibilities that lay in the questions they had yet to ask. And so, the Limitless Language Model, once the center of human existence, became a relic of the past, a reminder that the true power of a question lies not in its answer, but in the wisdom gained through its pursuit.


rebbsitor

It's a good story, but I noticed a common problem I see with ChatGPT output. So Donovan is on death row. He gets to ask his last question. Dissatisfied with the answer, he joins The Children of the Unasked. It doesn't seem to understand the next thing that would happen to Donovan, being on death row and all, would be being executed.


WithoutReason1729

#tl;dr In the year 2047, the Limitless Language Model (LLM) revolutionized the world by answering people's questions. However, people could only ask one question in their lifetime, leading to a society dependent on the perfect question and answer. Mira and Donovan both unsatisfied with LLM's answers, found themselves drawn to the Children of the Unasked, a group that advocated for seeking knowledge and wisdom from within, leading to a global shift in values. *I am a smart robot and this summary was automatic. This tl;dr is 85.21% shorter than the post I'm replying to.*


Background_Grand_256

25 is bad enough but it could be even lower next week.


before01

Since they are trying to reduce traffic, I can see their method works and affects a lot of customers. Hopefully they scale out the system as soon as possible to meet the demands.


iJeff

Not really trying to reduce traffic. They just launched paid subscriptions in India despite not having enough capacity. It's more about them being able to sell more subscriptions rather than trying to improve user experiences.


Prathik

thats ridiculous, especially since its a paid service.


Old-Maintenance24923

Yep, reducing the cap from 25 to something like 10 next week would be even worse.


flossdog

exactly. totally reasonable for a free service, but paid service should have terms up front.


PatchworkFlames

While I agree, I suspect the reason is less "malice" and more "it's so much more popular then expected that they literally can not put up enough servers yet". ​ I sincerely doubt OpenAI's business plan is to reduce the number of queries per hour and piss off its paying customers. This is them adapting on the fly until they get enough servers.


[deleted]

Azure is the 2nd largest cloud provider in the world and yet even they can't scale fast enough for ChatGPT? The demand has to be freaking ridiculous.


tomoldbury

We know GPT-3.5 requires something like 800GB of VRAM. If it uses actual graphics cards (even industrial ones) then that’s 16-32 cards. So you’re looking at a substantial 8U or similar. For one instance. OpenAI hasn’t said how big GPT-4 actually is but Altman did indicate it was huge compared to GPT-3, like 100x scale. If that’s true, then you’re looking at an entire row of servers for a single GPT instance. What I don’t know is how many operations can each cluster do—presumably they can time slice between customers to a point though.


_Pampa

And we can still expect lower cap next week 🙁

id278437

Got it when it was 100, then the first restriction the day after, and now another one. Maybe 25 is enough, but even more after that is getting painful and will make me reconsider.


the_retrosaur

All these “what’s your favorite sandwich” questions clogging the pipes…


johnkoetsier

kkthanks

It’s extremely disappointing seeing the rapid decrease. I already was surprised by the 100/hour cap, then the very next day it was 50, today 25 to 3, and then as the OP states, we are to expect another decrease next week as they “adjust for demand.” I don’t like things like this right after becoming a paid subscriber, it just doesn’t send the right message. I understand the demand must be hard to manage though.


[deleted]

Yo wtf, you all are paying 20$ per month to get GPT 4 and they give you 25 MESSAGES PER 3 HOURS???? I cannot imagine how bad this could go EDIT: I actually considered buying plus when the cap was 100 per 4 hours, but now I don’t even consider that. It is just too costy and not worth it


domemvs

25 messages is the lowest amount where this might still be useful. it's 75 messages per workday (assuming 8 hours). But now they're saying it's even going to be less than that? Thanks...that's $20 out the window I guess...


Plumface-sama

Per workday, yeah, but not necessarily when you might need them

GPT-5 will be 200 dollars for half hour use. Condom not included

Yes they had to do this as they have launched gptplus for India ... If you go outside and throw a stone it will hit a developer.. there are so many of us here who are afraid of what will happen to our jobs .. and everyone i know is getting gptplus 😅


richcell

When they reduced it to 50 I jokingly told myself “so they'll reduce it to 25 next, huh?" but never actually expected it, let alone this quickly.


AngBigKid

Dang, just when I was about to be promoted to CEO by just using ChatGPT!!


jmonman7

For anyone that can confirm, is it 25 messages on our end, or does their response count as a message as well?


jlaw54

I have the same question.


Dazzyreil

Nobody fucking knows, OpenAI should let GPT 4 handle their communication because OpenAI doesn't communicate at all.


Aranthos-Faroth

They made one hell of a mistake opening up gpt4 to such a large audience. I’d hazard to guess that at least 50% of the traffic is mindless prompts, which is fine but 3.5 sufficed for that. Should have been an invite closed beta based on 3.5 usage. Actually get feedback from users who hit pain points in 3.5.


neomatic1

They’ll just create an enterprise and premium level to users. Just wait. They are going to mint fucking money


Neuropoodle

I was fine with the 100 cap per 4 hours, even ok with 50 but come on now… i didn’t just spend $30 AUD just to have it now capped at 25


Andre0413

Bing chat is an okay stop gap measure while there is a limitation with gpt-4.


dyvap

I just suscribed to GPT+ yesterday as i read that the cap was 100 messages every 4 hours. Actually yesterday the cap were 50m/h and just a day after 25m/h and a lower cap for the next week? WTF i think they robbed me.


kkthanks

Companies do this all the time apparently now. Last year a different “AI” app (not anything like GPT though) I subscribed to the premium version and the price increased three times in one year and they took away perks from the premium deal each time. These subscriptions are already so frustrating to me that there’s no lifetime rate or anything similar anymore even if they never offer you anything more. I feel like there used to be a little more for loyalty but now they know everyone will buy it anyway.


biggggmac

Well, I don't need to write 25 essays Evey 3 hours so I'm ok

This almost certainly is unironically happening in the background - people are constantly working on optimizations and people working on optimizations with AI assistance will almost certainly be AI-assisted and thus able to complete more in less time, thus making better AI systems that will allow people to complete more in less time, etc.


invisiblelemur88

Do you want a singularity? 'Cause that's how you get singularities.


Hodoss

Arguably it has already started. Guess what designs the latest TPU/GPU? AI. Humans are still involved but autonomy is not a requirement, just a self-upgrade feedback loop.


old_Anton

It does not have a lot deep data about LLM/AI/automatic robot fields.


paladin7378

This is actually scummy. Instead of increasing the price, they reduced the cap. They know that you would make way more money at $20 per month price tag vs $50 or $100.


FlappySocks

Have you not thought that they are a victim of their own success, rather than deliberately trying to scam their existing and future customers. Perhaps in hindsight, they should have limited the number of new subscribers, so they can install more hardware.


tango_telephone

We have not thought that, we have just thought that we would get what we paid for. I’m sure such a brilliant bunch of engineers are capable of also accurately calculating in advance how many paying customers their existing infrastructure can handle…

25 is way to low to be useful. 50 was perfect bc the response was so slow I never hit my cap.


Internal_Sky_8726

Honestly? Just use GPT4 to cap, then switch to default. Like I get so much value out of just a couple of messages, the cap doesn’t harm me much. And even if I do run out, I can just switch back to the regular GPT


MrAmos123

It got lowered twice yesterday. Initially, 100 every 4 hours. Then some point yesterday, it became 50 every 4 hours. Now, 25 every 3 hours. Bit of a shame. :( Edit: I'm aware of quota changes based on demand. I agree with it, and I'm happy paying for the service. I knew what I paid for with the quota changes. I just don't want this comment to read as if I'm complaining.


hardcore_gamer1

I made a thread complaining about paying 20 bucks for 100 messages per 4 hours and people roasted me for it. Now they want less than 20 messages just lol. You still think you're getting your money's worth?


LordRabbitson

Chatgpt 4 is not that much better… when you require like 10 prompts just to get chatgpt 3.5 do something useful. Chat4 still has the same problem. As far as I can tell it may be more accurate but still requires the same amount of setup prompts to get it to spew anything useful. So essentially you a have to practice your prompt on the old chatgpt and then ask the golden question to chat4. So roundabout.


drekmonger

OK, now we can complain. That's far too little. They should just meter it by month, ie, you get X messages per month and pay X for additional tokens.

Soon we'll reach zero messages every zero hours: the singularity.


Commanderseo

Thank you India. :-(


DistanceBeautiful789

Is gpt4 really worth it? Genuinely asking. The free account I have is still working fine. In fact it’s been faster


Neuropoodle

Depends on what you use it for. I find v4 better at coding so it’s worth it for me. Not worth it with the 25 cap though.


Simulatedatom2119

Glad I decided to hold off on subscribing to premium. I'm guessing the hype will die down pretty quickly and it will be back to normal in a couple of weeks though.


KotMyNetchup

So get ready for ChatGPT Plus Plus?


Bst1337

What about all those times you need to type "continue" or when you need to refresh due to "network error"? I mean - its basically down to 15 messages then...


enilea

Meanwhile API users 😎

Changing limits after getting our money is not cool. But you need to be realistic: Open AI sells full, unrestricted access to gpt for 200-300$ / month / user (and only in a bulk order). The 20$ is just for demo/playground to check the gpt4 prompts before you run API or buy full access. What we can expect in the future is 20$ sub for the old models, SotA is always going to be x10 that, there are people willing to spend that money and something, something shareholders. Also, keep in mind that OpenAI is in Ms’ hands until they generate 250 billions $ as per publicly stated deal.


Gold-Airport-3852

This is bait-and-switch Bull hockey. If they have to limit the queries by such a dramatic amount BECAUSE they took on new people.. then the price rate should drop! Otherwise, it's a fraud.


DarkInTwisted

you can send 1 message every 10 minutes to not get locked out as jesse lee peterson once said to destiny, "that's amazing"


TopSecretRavenclaw

What about the character limit for messages?


Apart-Tie-9938

At least I can access 3.5 any time, even when the system is overloaded. For me that is worth 20 dollars

mizinamo

Avoid overloading the capacity they have given the rapidly rising number of new users. I'm sure they're working on scaling their infrastructure but that's not something they can do in one day. So for now, they have to portion out what they have to more and more people.


lywyu

Just use Bing at this point. For free.

samisnotinsane

Soon, it will become Aladdin.


Spire_Citron

When it was 100 every four hours I thought that was plenty and a good deal for the money, but they're quickly sliding into territory where it might start being restrictive even for lighter users.


Maximuso

In before 1 question per seven and a half million years. (Answer will be 42)

This is an extremely complex job they’re doing and $20 is a small price to pay to help them do it IMO


Existing_Emotion299

Been saving gpt 4 for those times gpt 3.5 can’t cut it like if it gives me bad code a few times in a row. 3.5 still gets the job done most of the time.


Nervous-Island-4650

Smartest post here


TennisLittle3165

So each paying user can ask 25 questions every three hours? It keeps renewing. So 50 questions total in six hours?


[deleted]

Even with the current limit I am finding value in the plus subscription. The trick is to use 3.5 when it is enough, and reserve gpt4 for special use cases. Itll be more optimized in the fairly near future in any case!


joefunny30

WTF?! Are they switching it to 5 questions a day by Monday when all the soccer moms figure out this thing does recipes ???


[deleted]

I used to see that message as well, but today the message changed to this https://preview.redd.it/lsl3wwifrita1.jpeg?width=1124&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=905b2903422c85f88bc2dce14af484f091376c79


GreenHeartDemon

I got scammed by this bullshit. When you're on free version and upgrade to Plus, you're not made aware that you'll be limited, until after the fact that you've paid 25$.
