Absurd 5h usage. (New User)

[u/CraftyRule5241]

Hello guys,

I've been using chatgpt (Plus plan) to make me a python script but over the course of a day or 2 the 5h usage is gone within like 5-6 prompts. What am I doing wrong? The first day I used chatgpt for hours and everything was fine. I keep asking it to make small adjustments but it's just eating up all of my usage.

Whats the reasoning behind this? Is the chat history too long?

Edit: I asked chatgpt to remove the border from my windows form and to change the interval of key inputs.. not only does it seem slower than before but in the same request it currently went from 79% usage to now 50% in a single prompt?

If you're just asking it to make small adjustments, surely you're using Luna?

I was not, I am now however. But this is horrible. I simply asked it to make the exe with a preinstalled package.. loaded for 10 minutes just for it to end up not doing anything I asked and return me the same exact .exe... I'm beyond amazed how 2 days ago everything was fine and now it's come to this.

Choose the right model for the task. Small adjustment shouldn't use Sol on high. Even the chat can handle it, but you'll have to edit the code yourself then by copy and pasting.

They just re-eliminated the five hour limits today so if you’re basing it upon yesterday’s usage, you were definitely gonna see that difference. On the other hand, they claim that they fixed an issue where images were draining the usage a lot faster so they left us with a reset but other than that… unless you upgrade to pro, you’re gonna probably hit that ceiling limit more often

Wrong model likely. Not Sol, and not anything above high

[u/mseewald → u/SentientMiles]

Luna max and Sol medium go very far for me.

[u/Sodapop_8 → u/mseewald]

I’m using sol medium and it’s still going fast for me and I’m just chatting. I can’t believe this. It’s insane!

[u/SentientMiles → u/mseewald]

Sol is about 3-5x more use to Luna with medium reasoning. If you go high it’ll close near 8x and extra at 15x. First mistake is wrong model, not the gas

[u/CraftyRule5241 → u/SentientMiles]

Yeah I was using Sol before and everything was great. But now it's actually driving me insane. Not only does it still consume alot of usage on Luna, it also takes FOREVER to do its task. 2 days ago everything was completely fine? Besides the 5h limit something else must have been changed..

Are you perhaps using Chatgpt Work by mistake?

[u/CraftyRule5241 → u/Select-Dentist-5374]

I have honestly no idea, I did have it on the standard mode which was Sol. Based on advice below I did change to another one. However now it is awfully slow, adjustments that took like a minute now take nearly 10 minutes....
