hi, i just wanna test my customGPT a bunch of times to verify it works properly. This involves testing whether or not it'll use the custom API it has access to via an action.
Does this testing count against my overall messagelimit for gpt4? and if so, is there any way to increase it for testing purposes?

Hi @west hull. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
Based on the information provided in the extracts, it appears that testing your custom GPT would indeed count against your overall message limit for GPT-4. As per the extract from the OpenAI Help Article (https://help.openai.com/en/articles/7127997-how-can-i-use-gpt-4-in-chatgpt), GPT-4 currently has a cap of 50 messages every 3 hours for ChatGPT Plus subscribers.
However, there is no explicit information available in the extracts about increasing this limit specifically for testing purposes. It's worth noting that OpenAI did double the number of messages ChatGPT Plus customers can send with GPT-4, as mentioned in the extract from the OpenAI Help Article (https://help.openai.com/en/articles/6825453-chatgpt-release-notes#h_e65b44764b), but this seems to be a general increase rather than one specifically for testing.
If you're hitting rate limits during your testing, you might need to slow down your requests or add an automatic retry with exponential delay, as suggested in the extract from the OpenAI Community Forum (https://community.openai.com/t/311075).
Remember, if you're using an account with monthly billing but have never been billed because you barely use the service, you won't have access to GPT-4. You must be a “paying customer” as mentioned in the extract from the OpenAI Community Forum (https://community.openai.com/t/399797).
For more detailed information about rate limits, you can refer to the rate limit docs (https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/rate-limits) mentioned in the forum post.
