- Several Perplexity Pro subscribers are complaining that they are hitting weekly limits on advanced AI models much faster, even with reduced usage.
- The reduced limits only affect advanced models like Gemini 3.1 Pro or Thinking. Regular models are seemingly unaffected.
- Users are being prompted to upgrade to the $2,000-per-year Perplexity Max tier for “enhanced access to advanced models.”
If you’ve gone all in on the Perplexity hype with a $20-a-month Pro subscription, you might have encountered some bad news already. Several Reddit users (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) are complaining that they are now frequently and more easily hitting their weekly limits for using advanced AI models, despite reduced use (via PiunikaWeb).
Reddit user SaberToaster mentions that they were using about 10-20 queries per day, and even that still maxed out their query limit for advanced AI models. Redditor SuppliDev claims to be hitting the limits with just three to five requests a day. Reddit user KhoaHachiman7 reached their weekly file upload limit with just two uploads. Some Reddit users claim that Perplexity changed its token limits from 200 to 100, and even reduced the query per week to about 100-150.
