9% of my usage just to summarize a session. 2 days ago the 5hr limit lasted me 4hrs, now it lasts 2hrs.

The available usage limit in $ has decreased by 15%-20% since the forever cache has been introduced. I can prove this

Thibaut @thsottiaux, I pay $200/month, yet my usual tasks seem to use more of my quota after each reset. Has the allowance or usage accounting changed? Resets aren't a substitute for predictable value. Please publish the limits, changes and effective dates.

Something’s off with my usage after the reset! I’ve got a $200 account, and just one 10-minute task is burning 20% of my quota?? What’s going on?
@shijkyou on X ↗ · 23 Oct 2026

Plus users can't even use all the features of the Astra model anyway... One moderately difficult mission is enough to run out of your quota

Something strange happened today. I’ve got the $200 max plan and I seldom use more than 50% over 7 days, but today I burned 55% in less than 7 hours and I’m now down to 31% and it’s only 10 hours since you reset. My usage is slightly higher than normal today, but something is…

My usage has died in 2 days!!! That’s not normal

@thsottiaux all day today my gpt normal chat on pro kept failing and using my usage, this isnt the first time its been happening any help?

I used astra for literally 1 hrs and my usage is gone again fk ChatGPT

I used astra light for 2 hrs and my 80% usage is gone today too, finally better cancel codex i have renewal in 3 days from loving codex to finally giving up 🆙 best wishes tibo

Hello, my ChatGPT Work mode quota is being consumed abnormally fast. I suspect the usage counter has a metering error. Even new Work conversations cannot allocate sandbox after quota ran out. Please check my usage logs and help reset the Work usage limit

Hey @thsottiaux, I believe my account was affected (usage started draining much faster around Oct 16 on Pro 100). I haven’t received any email or credits yet. I’ve checked spam and Usage settings. Could you confirm if my account is in the 40k and when the outreach is expected?…
@ZeroSpacePirate on X ↗ · 20 Oct 2026
- Problem
Since the last reset, I'm ending the day having already used 40% of my weekly quota. I'm on the Pro 5x plan, and this is the first time I've experienced anything like this since I became a subscriber. I asked ChatGPT to review my usage over the past three days and compare it…
@Dev_Mrph on X ↗ · 20 Oct 2026
- Problem
Usage is nerfed, I am on plus plan and 5 hours session used to be 13% of weekly limit now it's 16% so it is about 15% lower
@Shehzad_Niz on X ↗ · 20 Oct 2026
- Problem
But what exactly is wrong with ChatGPT limit recently - sincerely this is no longer about resets. On Pro 100, running gpt Astra medium in a single thread (run time - 15mins, changes +139 -22, 15% usage gone). This feels like the old plus plan seriously.
@fmoyebamiji on X ↗ · 20 Oct 2026
- Problem
Now i am afraid touch work and codex .my 200 $ plan for weekly usage 100% gone like rocket 🚀 just 1 prompt . Logic if i can't finish job because of this reason so i can't find more money > so no money pay to you . U kill source income .
@BillieSpar46703 on X ↗ · 20 Oct 2026
- Problem
Man you guys just ruined the quota and wont listen to anyone and do this ? I hate to be that guy but I will not be paying for chatgpt next month if limits stay this messed up. Everything was just fine last week but its quite visably draining way too fast.
@Schedul1 on X ↗ · 19 Oct 2026

Astra medium today. 1 min 22 sec till i hit 0% of 5hr
@olegbystrov on X ↗ · 18 Oct 2026
- Problem
Something is def wrong with the astra model at least. I already ran out of usage
@Volapiik on X ↗ · 18 Oct 2026
- Problem
No way to drain so much in less than 24h with NO ASTRA model used.... I can say is less than 50% already not after 29 october... :(

抓紧,再不重置上个月补偿的额度就要用完了
@llzhell on X ↗ · 17 Oct 2026

My usage out already... That 80% wasted sure would be good about right now...

Love the efficiency gains! Shame my quota is already empty so I can't feel them — any chance of a reset to actually experience Day 12? 👀
@bgeeDaYe on X ↗ · 17 Oct 2026
- Problem
but i already burned out all of my usage 😅
@Eadig_K on X ↗ · 17 Oct 2026
- Problem
Well, thank you, but since my Dot decided to use Astra today, it drained my quota 60%. So maybe work a bit more on the functionality you already implemented. Good luck.
@Ingenitu on X ↗ · 17 Oct 2026
- Problem
I'd really love to try out these improvements! 🥹💖 Unfortunately, I'm currently at 0% usage left, so I can't experience them just yet 😭
@MuMufox_ on X ↗ · 17 Oct 2026
- Problem
Yeah this is getting ridiculous. There's no improvement anymore, Those are just bug fix. I'm cancelling my plus plan. I can't do shit for more than 10 minute without running out of usage.

Perfect timing! Always when I'm just about to run out of my weekly quota. Amazing stuff Tibo
@iamelijahkhan on X ↗ · 15 Oct 2026
- Problem
Tbh I really hope all these updates will fix usage running out once and for all I've been working on my project day and night it honestly seems though like it's slowing down last night I trying Astra ultra fast I put $80 gone in one prompt tbh I was raging last night

Thanks man. I was down to using my paid credits. How long until you think the usage limits idea can be implemented?

Very nice! Just in time as my usage just hit zero

My usage is already used up

My entire weekly usage limit was exhausted in just two hours on the ChatGPT $100 plan XD

No need! I still can't utilise previous one!
@brat002 on X ↗ · 14 Oct 2026

dude. I saved up my usage to have a nice burst coding session. now my savings are gone.

Appreciate it. My usage was at 100% after maining Opus 5.5 since its launch.
@dmooralesg on X ↗ · 12 Oct 2026
- Problem
Legacy Pro $200: 20× was promised through Oct 29. Since the Oct 11 reset, my meter reached 71% used. Conditional token-equivalent math gives a 57–86% drop, but mismatched periods/credits mean no cut is proven. Could you audit case 17035389? Evidence attached.

月額20ドルのChatGPT Plusでも、Devinに連携すると数回のタスクでクォータの上限に達することがあります。 ということは、これはDevinの料金が浮くという話ではなく、毎月余らせていたChatGPTの利用枠を100%回収するための仕組みなんですよね。…

Your Dot is taking a break for now. Congratulations! You have become one of the most active users! You have reached the usage limit we set to prevent abuse. Come back and check later!😂

i already had no usage remaining man…

thanks! I already finished my usage yesterday!!!

That’s not “improving the product.” That’s quietly changing the deal after people already paid for it. I genuinely can’t think of another product I use that gets away with this kind of shit. Slow as hell. Quota disappears insanely fast. Constantly changing limits and user benefit
