ChatGPT usage limits
ChatGPT is still the broadest general-purpose AI subscription stack: everyday chat, files, search, image generation, deep research, agent mode, Codex, and workspace controls all live under one roof. WeeklyUsage tracks the plans that matter most for US buyers: Free, Go, Plus, the two Pro usage tiers, Business, and Enterprise.
What to know
Go is the low-cost first upgrade when Free feels too tight, adding more messages with tools, uploads, image creation, voice chats, and longer memory. Plus remains the practical mainstream upgrade for people who want GPT-5.6 reasoning, expanded deep research, projects, scheduled tasks, custom GPTs, Codex, and ChatGPT Work across desktop, web, and mobile.
Pro is best understood as a usage allowance upgrade. OpenAI lists Pro from $100 per month, with 5x or 20x more usage than Plus depending on tier. Both Pro tiers share the same core capabilities, and "unlimited" model language is still subject to abuse guardrails.

Limit notes
Exact caps are not always public
OpenAI publishes plan-level feature access and relative usage, but model-specific message caps can shift with demand, model choice, and tool use.
Context is plan and model dependent
The current pricing table shows GPT Instant total context moving from 27K on Free to 54K on Go and Plus, then 128K on Pro. GPT Reasoning total context is listed as 256K on Go and Plus and 400K on Pro. Large file workflows are still shaped by input size, active tools, memory, and selected model.
Go is now tracked
OpenAI lists Go as a low-cost paid plan with expanded access compared with Free. Business is now tracked with Standard and Premium seat language because usage allowance can differ by seat type.
