TL;DR
- Perplexity users complained about hitting weekly advanced AI usage limits much faster despite reduced activity.
- The company confirmed it altered limits for accounts tied to promotional codes to combat fraud and unauthorized resales.
- Perplexity is working to clarify limits for affected users and will help anyone who believes they are impacted in error.
A Perplexity spokesperson shared the following statement with us:
Some users are seeing different usage limits because their accounts are tied to promotional-code offers, and we’ve had to adjust enforcement due to fraud and unauthorized resale of those codes, including cases where people may have unknowingly purchased invalid codes from third parties. We’re working to make the applicable limits clearer for affected users and will continue helping anyone who believes they were impacted in error, while continuing to enforce our terms against abuse.
