TL;DR

Check the actual usage limits for the gpt 5.5 model and the account type to understand why the limits are being hit early.

Guidance

  • Review the /status output to understand the current usage and limits for the context window, 5h limit, and weekly limit.
  • Verify that the usage limits are correctly configured for the Business subscription and gpt 5.5 model.
  • Check if there are any additional limits or restrictions imposed on the account that may be causing the early limit hits.
  • Investigate the uploaded thread (019dbc0d-9976-73d3-8825-dc7f6617aeaf) to see if there are any unusual usage patterns or spikes that may be contributing to the issue.

Notes

The issue may be related to a misconfiguration or misunderstanding of the usage limits for the gpt 5.5 model or the Business subscription. Further investigation is needed to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Review and adjust usage patterns to stay within the configured limits until the root cause can be determined and addressed.
