I just got usage capped on GPT-4 after 20 messages – when I clicked “Learn More” on the message, I saw:

Thanks for your interest in GPT-4!

To give every Plus user a chance to try the model, we’re currently dynamically adjusting usage caps for GPT-4 as we learn more about demand and system performance.

We’re also actively exploring ways for ChatGPT Plus subscribers to use GPT-4 in a less constrained manner; this may be in the form of a new subscription level for higher-level GPT-4 usage, or something else.

Please fill out this form if you’d like to stay posted.

Now admittedly I paste massive chunks of code into GPT-4 as part of my daily workflow and it’s understandable if they’re wanting to make the amount users get match with the price they’re paying… but I was still a little taken aback by the customer-facing bullshit of that whole “To give every Plus user a chance to try the model” and “as we learn more”. Like bro if you feel like setting a limit based on use then just tell me what the limit is and how I can get more if I need it.

Anyone else run into this? Anyone have a good alternative (besides just sending it all to the platform API and paying out the ass)? GPT-4 is actually capable with code in my experience in a way that 3.5 and Copilot are not.

    So you pay for it and you received that message? I pay for it and paste hundreds of lines of code into it, making request after request for hours at a time and have never received that message. Maybe the system was overloaded? I’ve found that when I try using it through the app it will error out sometimes, and take a long time other times, but I’ve never encountered that on a desktop.
