This guide explains ChatGPT User Limits in 2025 in plain language — what each model’s caps are, how resets work, and practical steps to avoid interruptions in your workflow. GPT-5 is listed first because it introduces new selection and quota behaviors you should know about.
The various models in the ChatGPT suite are designed for different types of tasks. Below are their current limits, separated into functional categories.
Quick reference — at a glance (most restricted → least)
- GPT-5 / GPT-5-Thinking
- Free tier: 1 GPT-5-Thinking message per day.
- Plus / Team (manual selection): up to 200 GPT-5-Thinking messages per week from the model picker.
- ChatGPT Team / Pro: unlimited access to GPT-5 models subject to abuse guardrails.
- Automatic switching from GPT-5 → GPT-5-Thinking does not count toward the weekly manual-selection limit.
- GPT-4.5 — 50 messages per week.
- GPT-4 — 40 messages every 3 hours (includes interactions with custom GPTs).
- GPT-4o — 80 messages every 3 hours.
- GPT-4.1 — 80 messages every 3 hours.
- GPT-4.1 mini — Unlimited usage.
Thinking / Research models
- Deep Research Tool — 10 queries per month.
- o3 pro — 20 messages per month (availability: Team, Enterprise, Pro).
- o3 — 100 messages per week.
- o4-mini-high — 100 messages per day.
- o4-mini — 300 messages per day.
Platform-level note: ChatGPT Plus users can send up to 80 messages every 3 hours across the suite before the UI may switch to a mini model fallback; after that fallback, the mini model remains until the limit resets.
