How OpenAI counts 'messages' for GPT-6 Astra usage limits puzzles users
Original-League-6094 · reddit · 2026-09-04
OpenAI's help page for GPT-6 and GPT-6 Pro in ChatGPT measures Astra usage limits in 'messages', but the definition is unclear. The poster asks whether one message equals one turn, whether bundling 100 hard prompts into a single document submission would circumvent the cap, and whether messages also drain the normal usage meter. The docs don't answer these questions yet.
