What happens when your free turns run out

You will understand the free limit and what to do when you hit it.

2 min read Always free

ChatGPT is free to use. But the free version has a limit on how much you can ask at once.

When you reach it, you may see a message that says to wait or slow down. Nothing is broken. You did nothing wrong.

The simplest fix is to wait a little while. After some time, your free turns come back and you can keep going.

Try this
  1. Read the message if one pops up.
  2. Take a short break, maybe an hour or so.
  3. Come back later and try again.
  4. Keep your questions short to make turns last.
