What is a usage limit?
A usage limit is a cap on how much you can use a service within a certain timeframe. In this story, OpenAI has reinstated a five-hour limit for some of its premium customers. This means once they've used the service for five hours, they'll have to wait for the limit to reset before they can use it again, which can be frustrating for heavy users.
