If you\u2019ve 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).<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

As the report highlights, these allegedly lower restrictions apply only to queries using advanced AI models, such as Gemini 3.1 Pro or Thinking. Regular models are seemingly unaffected.<\/p>\n

Users brushing up against these reduced limits get the text prompt: \u201cGet enhanced access to advanced models with Perplexity Max.\u201d For context, Perplexity Pro costs $204 per year ($17 per month when billed annually), while Perplexity Max costs $2,004 per year ($167 per month when billed annually).<\/p>\n

Some Reddit users note that the reduced limits aren\u2019t affecting users in the US. If you are affected, you could try using a US-based VPN to get around the limit.<\/p>\n

Perplexity has not yet officially addressed these claims or updated its pricing page to reflect lower limits. Until then, all these user reports should be taken with a grain of salt, as rate limiting can often be tied to temporary server load or specific regional outages.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve reached out to Perplexity for a statement on these alleged limit reductions. We\u2019ll keep you updated when we learn more.<\/p>\n
