ChatGPT Free Users Just Got Unlimited Text Chats

OpenAI is removing rate limits on text chats for ChatGPT's free and Go tiers starting next week, meaning small business owners can use the free version as much as they need without hitting usage caps. Free and Go users are also getting a new "Think" button that gives access to more powerful reasoning for harder questions, like drafting complex contracts or working through business plans. This is a big deal because many small business owners rely on the free tier and previously ran into frustrating limits mid-task. Now you can use ChatGPT for drafting emails, marketing copy, customer service scripts, or brainstorming without worrying about getting cut off. It's a rare case of a major AI company giving away more value for free rather than pushing everyone toward paid plans.
