I have access to ChatGPT Plus subscription and from my experience I can say that this limit is arbitrary and OpenAI keeps changing it in response to their server load.

That said, for me it has hovered between 40 messages per 3 hours to 20 messages per 3 hours.

By the way, the ChatGPT integration with Wolfram is pretty poor, if you want, you can message me, and I will show it to you, so you know if it works for you before getting the subscription.

Hi Hashir,

Can you please elaborate on

the ChatGPT integration with Wolfram is pretty poor

I think chat driven and chat enabled notebooks, the prompt repository and the tool repository provide excellent integration between GPT-4/3.5 and the Wolfram Language.

What aspect of the integration do you consider to be "poor"?

I saw this on several discussion groups. This is one link that pops up when you search for chatgpt plus limits https://community.openai.com/t/chatgpt-plus-and-usage-limits-mistranslation-of-3-hours-3-days-in-many-languages/544425?page=2

Thanks Rohit!

Forgive me for the very basic questions!

Until now, I only used the free API via TheBrain. I never used the chat interface or GPT-chat apps available.

I am still a little confused about the distinction between chat-GPT plus and the token fees for the API. I assume subscribing to chat GPT plus only gives access to custom APIs like the Wolfram GPT, but does not provide a flat-rate for using the models, correct? In other words, do I have to have a payment method setup in my OpenAi account to use GPT-4 independently of a Chat-GPT plus subscription?

Thank you and kind regards

Berthold

Hi Berthold

For me, it took a couple of days between signing up and getting access to plugins.

In other words, do I have to have a payment method setup in my OpenAi account to use GPT-4 independently of a Chat-GPT plus subscription?

Yes, a payment method is needed to use the API.
