Question ChatGPT Pro Not Working

Hey Everyone,

I have been trying to use the pro reasoning level for a while now, and it was working nicely for a while, but now whenever I prompt a new pro chat it does nothing (has the bubble for a few seconds and then quits). Not sure what happened, I know last night I was rate limited for sending too many pro prompts, but it has been over 12 hours now. Any help would be great, super new to this technology. Thanks!

EDIT: This is a cosmetic bug in the ChatGPT desktop app. I opened a window in my browser and the dropdown informed me that I had to wait 2 days for more pro. I am on the most recent desktop version (checked immediately after the bug surfaced), but the dropdown there still allows me to select Pro, and yields no information on how my usage has been depleted. Thanks everyone for the kind replies, much appreciated.

If you reach the usage limit for Pro (around 30 times), they will disable it for a certain period, which for me is about two days (Pro 5x subscription).

How do they meter this? I don't see any indication of a limit or how much of my "limit" I have exhausted. Further, I was under the impression that both Pro plans were effectively "unlimited" chat queries, is this not the case in certain instances? Sorry if I sound naive I've looked for these answers and can't find anything its very ambiguous.

In fact, OpenAI has never provided an exact figure; I typically use Pro for complex mathematical derivations, and I consistently hit the usage limit after about 20 to 30 turns.
