Bug Report: Up arrow and ‘+’ buttons are gray, even aren’t disabled by limitation of using GPT-5 every day

`Steps to Reproduce`

Share a chat from my main ChatGPT account to my secondary one (if yes).
When chatting to about 20th or 30th message, ChatGPT automatically changes those buttons above to gray.
As step 1 (no more ‘if yes’).

`Expected Result`

I could have chatted with GPT-5 up to 80 messages/ 3 hours.

`Actual Result`

When I chat with GPT-5, to 20th or 30th messages, it doesn’t let me send another one, even photos and files. I’ve also tried to exit and re-enter ChatGPT app, but still.

`Environment`

iOS 18.6, with ChatGPT v1.2025.217, macOS Tahoe 26 Public Beta 3 with ChatGPT v1.2025.218, Safari

Same here. And I didn't share the link, so maybe it's not the reason.

#

If we got to the limit is would show us, but the bug is just make the button gray.

I'm having the same issue with 95% of my chats having a greyed out send button. Even with chats that have around 10 messages have been greyed without any pop up of being rate or chat size limited. I'm in the middle of a study sesh (with regular ChatGPT, not the study mode) and it's making me have to create multiple chats just to continue.
