The number of messages ChatGPT Plus users can send using the GPT-4 model has increased from 25 to 50 every three hours.

We’re doubling the number of messages ChatGPT Plus customers can send to GPT-4. The new limit will be introduced next week and is 50 per 3 hours. https://t.co/t4syFUj0fL

The new feature rolls out as some users are still reporting seeing the original message cap of 25.

Others report up to 200 messages every three hours.

OpenAI appears to have raised the GPT-4 message cap from 25 to 200 (every three hours).

I just confirmed it from my side. Pretty.

I also suspect that this was a “silent increase” that had been in effect for the past few weeks.

Benefits of an increase in GPT-4 messages

Increasing the message limit from 25 to 50 every 3 hours in the GPT 4 model should benefit both users and developers.

With the increased limit, users can have longer and more detailed conversations without fear of exceeding their limit prematurely. This should allow for a deeper dive into the issues, exploration of more complex issues, and more comprehensive answers.

Also, users can experiment more extensively with Code Interpreter and over 700 third-party ChatGPT plugins, such as the new CapCut AI video editor, since they also run on GPT-4.

The exception is the official “Browse with Bing” plugin, which is disabled until OpenAI can prevent access to paywall content.

Companies that use GPT-4 for customer service, market research, content creation, and other operations can interact more fully with the model. A higher message limit should accept more customer requests, produce longer AI-generated content, and analyze business intelligence data faster.

Apps that use the GPT 4 model for their operation should find the higher limit useful. This increase allows apps to offer their users a more consistent, reliable, and continuous service.

Developers and AI enthusiasts can use the increased limit to train and refine the model. The expanded interactions provide more data, leading to better outcomes and improvements.
