ChatGPT Plus users hit 5-hour limits mid-task in Work mode, fueling 'upsell by friction' complaints
cyogenus · reddit · 2026-10-15
A ChatGPT Plus subscriber says Work mode with Astra Medium takes so long that the 5-hour usage cap hits before tasks finish — with no auto-resume after reset, forcing users to start over.
His read: regular ChatGPT has been deliberately nerfed to push people toward Work, where slow tasks guarantee hitting limits — pressure to upgrade to Pro. He argues OpenAI should auto-resume tasks after limits reset and stop squeezing paying subscribers.
