Plus Account 40 Message Limit Every 3 Hours Removed?
According to multiple media reports, OpenAI has replaced the 40-message usage limit for GPT-4 every 3 hours with dynamically adjusted flexible quotas based on supply and demand. OpenAI will increase or decrease users’ requests to GPT-4 based on the current system’s busyness.
Official Version Frequency Limits
Looking at the top-tier Tire 5 level, the new rules are as follows:
- Maximum Concurrent Usage: 10,000 times / minute
- Maximum Processing Speed: 1,500,000 tokens / minute
For details, please refer to: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/rate-limits/usage-tiers?context=tier-five
Although the backend still displays the old limits, I believe the official update will be completed soon:
- Current Maximum Concurrent Usage: 3,000 times / minute
- Current Maximum Processing Speed: 250,000 tokens / minute
