I upgraded to ChatGPT Pro because I needed it for an urgent work project. It cost about $100. On the plan page, it said something like 5x more usage than Plus, unlimited main chat, maximum access, and all that. I thought, okay, expensive, but at least I’ll get Pro access for urgent work.
Yeah, sure.
After about 1.5 days, I hit a limit. The banner says it will reset only in a week. I contacted support, and they replied that “in my specific case” the Pro limit is 50 messages per week, and they can’t reset it manually. What does “in my specific case” mean? Do I have some special case? Did I accidentally buy a demo version of ChatGPT Pro for selected sufferers?
So: 50 messages per week. For a $100/month Pro plan.
Maybe I really am misunderstanding something? But in the “buy our plan for $100” offer, I didn’t see anything about 50 messages per week. Maybe, of course, this limit was clearly shown somewhere before purchase? Because I’m almost sure I didn’t see “50 messages per week” when I upgraded to Pro.
Has anyone else run into this? Did you manage to solve it somehow? Or is something really wrong with my account and OpenAI just personally doesn’t like me? 😅
Anyway, if anyone has already gone through this Pro-limit quest, please tell me how it ended.
PS: It’s also kind of sad that a company that supposedly builds the future uses such a familiar mechanic from the past: “well, you didn’t find the limitation in the fine print yourself, so it’s your fault.”
