User complains ChatGPT Plus 5h limit drains too fast during simple coding tasks

A new ChatGPT Plus user complains that their 5-hour usage limit was exhausted after just 5-6 prompts over 1-2 days. The user was primarily generating and making small adjustments to Python scripts (e.g., removing borders, changing input intervals) and suspects long chat history might be the cause. Observations show that a single request caused the remaining usage to drop from 79% to 50%.
