Regarding the response limit of ChatGPT (25 times in 3 hours), the following exchange was conducted. It's a question for GPT-3.5, but since it's about Chat GPT, it should be applicable to GPT-3.5 as well (presumably). For your reference.
(Question)
When you say "GPT-4 currently has a cap of 25 messages", the '25' refers to the number of questions, right?
(Answer)
Yes, that's correct. GPT-4 currently has a limit of 25 question or response messages. After that, you will need to start a new session. This message limit per session is due to computational costs and resource constraints of the model. If you have further questions, please let me know. I'm here to help.
(Question)
So, if I ask a question and get a response, is that counted as '1' or '2'?
(Answer)
It's counted as '1'. An interaction counts as one when a question is asked and a response is received. In other words, receiving one response to one question is counted as one interaction.
(Question)
What do you mean by 'session' here?
(Answer)
A 'session' refers to a unit of dialogue between a user and the AI model. One session begins when a user poses a question to the AI model, and it continues as the model generates a response and the user asks additional questions or gives instructions. There is a message limit per session due to processing capability and resource constraints. For GPT-4, there is a limit of 25 questions or responses in one session. If you wish to continue the dialogue beyond the 25 limit, you will need to start a new session.
(Question)
So, if I hit the '25 messages in 3 hours' limit, I should close it and then reopen it?
(Answer)
Yes, that's right. If you reach the '25 messages in 3 hours' limit, you can temporarily close the session or end it and then start a new one. When you close the session, the limit is reset for starting a new session. However, please be aware that when you close a session, you lose the state and context of the previous dialogue. When you start a new session, you may need to provide information from the previous dialogue again. Therefore, if you reach the 25 message limit, the appropriate action would be to temporarily close the session and then start a new one.
