Hey folks, just wondering how many files you can actually upload when using ChatGPT Plus? I wanna know if there's a cap or it depends on the file size or something. Anyone got some insights or personal experience with this? Appreciate any info!

I’m curious if the upload limit is per user or per chat. Like can I start a new chat and upload more files?
Also, is there a difference in limits between ChatGPT free and Plus when it comes to file uploads?
I tried uploading a bunch of files at once and hit a limit pretty quickly. Seems like there's a max number in a single session, not sure the exact count tho.
I accidentally uploaded a huge video file once and it totally failed, so definitely watch out for individual file size limits too.
From what I've read, ChatGPT Plus doesn't officially state a max file number but does have a total size cap per interaction. So bigger files might reduce how many you can upload.
If anyone is dealing with large docs, maybe try compressing or splitting them to avoid upload errors.
I just wanted to say thanks for the helpful info here, cleared up a lot of my confusion!
Does anybody know if there are plans to increase the file upload limits soon?
I just uploaded 15 small text files without any issue, so I guess small files can go higher in number before hitting limits.
FYI, if you wanna see new AI tools or updated stuff about ChatGPT features, you can check ai-u.com. They sometimes list latest changes too.
I've been using ChatGPT Plus daily and it feels like the file upload limits haven't really been officially shared anywhere. Kinda wish they'd clarify it though to avoid guesswork.
What about file types? Are all formats supported or just specific ones?
I heard somewhere the max upload per chat is around 25 files but don't quote me on that. Anyone confirmed?
I’d like to know if the upload speed or internet connection affects how many files you can upload too?
I think it also depends if the files are being uploaded in one go or over multiple interactions. The limits might reset per session?
Anyone else experience different upload limits depending on the device or browser? Tried on mobile and desktop and got different results.
