Hi @timber bluff. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

It sounds like ChatGPT is defaulting to image generation for your prompts, which can quickly use up your Free-tier limits.

From the docs:

  • Free users can generate images, but image creation has its own, stricter rate limits separate from normal text usage. [Free tier FAQ]
  • Image generation is one of the tools that can be limited or disabled depending on your plan or settings (for example, on some Ads-Free Free configurations, image generation may be unavailable). [Ads-Free Free plan]

The knowledge sources don’t describe a user-facing toggle to “turn off” image generation in standard Free accounts, nor a way to force text-only replies in the UI. They only state that:

  • Free users can “Create images in ChatGPT” as a capability. [Free tier FAQ]
  • Some Free Ads-Free variants may remove access to image generation entirely. [Ads-Free Free plan]

Given that, your options based on the available docs are:

  1. Try switching to the Ads-Free Free variant (if available in your region).
    That version may disable image generation as part of its “reduced feature access,” which would stop the auto-image behavior but also lower your overall usage limits. [Ads-Free Free plan]
#
  1. Contact support so they can look at your specific account behavior.
    The docs suggest using the Help Center contact options when limits or tools don’t behave as expected. [Free tier FAQ]

The knowledge sources do not show any in-chat setting you can flip yourself to permanently force “text only” on the Free plan, so I can’t point you to a direct “fix” button beyond the Ads/Ads-Free plan choice and contacting support.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

@timber bluff Kapa.ai is still learning and improving, please let me know how I did by reacting below.

Just put in custom instructions "do not generate images unless explicitly asked" tell me if that worked
