Hi @grim oxide. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
The usage limits for GPT-4 and other models depend on the usage tier of your OpenAI account. For the free tier, the usage limit is $100 per month. The rate limits for specific models under the free tier are as follows:
gpt-3.5-turbo: 3 requests per minute (RPM), 200 requests per day (RPD), 40,000 tokens per minute (TPM), and a batch queue limit of 200,000.text-embedding-3-large,text-embedding-3-small,text-embedding-ada-002: 3,000 RPM, 200 RPD, 1,000,000 TPM, and a batch queue limit of 3,000,000.whisper-1,tts-1: 3 RPM, 200 RPD.dall-e-2: 5 images per minute.dall-e-3: 1 image per minute.
Please note that these are high-level summaries and there may be per-model exceptions to these limits. You can view the exact rate limits per model for your account in the limits section (https://platform.openai.com/account/rate-limits) of your account settings.
As for GPT-4, it is available to ChatGPT Plus, Team, and Enterprise users. ChatGPT Plus subscribers can access GPT-4 with a usage limit of 40 messages every 3 hours. Please note that unused messages do not accumulate. If you wait 6 hours, you will not have 80 messages available to use for the next 3 hours.
The quota resets at the start of each billing cycle, which is typically monthly. However, the exact timing may depend on your account settings and payment history.
