OpenAI grants unlimited text chats to free and Go ChatGPT accounts
↗
OpenAI is removing rate limits on text chats for free and Go ChatGPT accounts starting the week of August 10, while maintaining separate usage limits on features like image generation and file uploads.
Free users now get unlimited text access to the GPT-5.6 Luna model, but face strict feature gating and data privacy trade-offs. The change shifts the free tier's constraints from message caps to tool-specific quotas and model restrictions.
