User Complaints: New ChatGPT 5-Hour Limit Breaks Production Workflow
TommyOnRedditt · reddit · 2026-08-26
A Reddit user complained that OpenAI's new 5-hour usage limit severely hampers their ability to use ChatGPT Work for production tasks. They reported that even simple, well-scoped tasks consume a large chunk of the quota and often fail at the final step due to preview environment errors, necessitating breaking work into tiny steps. A task that previously took 25 minutes now stretches over 10 hours. The user argues that this "stamina management" style limit is hostile to individual developers running a business, preferring the previous weekly allowance plus top-up model.
