Hi @obtuse patio. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
For free ChatGPT users:
- You can upload up to 10 files to a given conversation for analysis. [Data analysis]
- Each file can be up to 512 MB, with CSVs/spreadsheets limited to about 50 MB each. [How much data]
- File uploads and data analysis have their own rate limits, separate from the GPT‑5.2 text limit; if you hit those, you must wait for them to reset. [Free tier FAQ]
The knowledge sources do not specify the exact numeric time-based rate (e.g., X analyses per hour) for free users, only that limits are stricter than on paid plans.
Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

@topaz carbon What is the maximum before cool down?

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
The knowledge sources do not state a specific numeric “maximum before cool down” (for example, X data‑analysis runs per hour) for Free users.
What they do say is:
- Data analysis and file uploads have their own separate rate limits from the GPT‑5.2 text limit; if you hit those, you must wait for them to reset. [Free tier FAQ]
- You can upload up to 10 files per conversation for analysis, and there are also per‑file size limits and overall file‑upload caps (e.g., 80 uploads per 3 hours for non‑Free users, 3 per day for Free users), but these are about uploads, not an explicit “cool‑down” count for analysis runs.
