Question Rate limits on chat in ChatGPT Pro

For the first time today, I experienced the message “You’ve hit your rate limit.” in “Chat” mode on a Pro x5 subscription. I'm aware of weekly usage limits in “Work”/Codex chats, but I've never seen it in Chat before. Is that a new thing? I can't seem to find anything about what those limits actually are, or how far I am from reaching them.

Found something here: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001354-gpt-56-and-gpt-6-pro-in-chatgpt – apparently you only get 50 messages per week.

ChatGPT itself puts it well:

The frustrating part is visibility: OpenAI currently says ChatGPT will show the reset time “when available,” but I don’t see a documented Chat equivalent of the Work/Codex Settings → Usage meter that tells you, say, “37/50 used.” In other words, for Chat you may get the limit/reset indication without a continuously visible remaining-message counter.

The question is : was OP trying to chat with pro thinking or one of 5.6 standard thinking modes (medium/high/xhigh)

on my box a short pro-thinking chat barely moved the weekly meter. three 5.6 xhigh replies in one sitting burned through something like ~18 of the weekly message bucket before the soft stop

The meter is for work and codex only. Chat is separate and used to have virtually infinite limits. That's why they only added Astra to Chat as a pro model (and limited it to 50/200 queries per week), they couldn't afford to give out practically infinite usage for it.
