I’m having this problem and I don’t know how to solve it. I didn’t even use the tool properly and this message appears, as if I had used it several times. The only thing I did was connect to Outlook and then call ChatGPT (at the stage where the message appears).
How much do you pay for chatgpt? Rate Limits go up as you put more money into the service. There are tiers. Try reducing your request or executing it less. You can only really wait for limits to go away.
Background processes might be why the alert appeared, not something you did yourself. Connecting Outlook could have quietly started services without any visible prompt. Opening ChatGPT may have activated hidden workflows like syncing contacts or refreshing tokens - those actions often qualify as usage. Passive events get logged too, just like certain sites monitor access through timed interactions - for example, cleverhumanizer.ai/ai-writer.
Start by signing out, then sign in once more. Test the system again while keeping Outlook disconnected. When the alert shows up again, look at your usage dashboard for timing details. The timestamps lining up with when you connected Outlook means it is tracking automatically. Should they differ, get in touch with support and share the precise time it occurred. They will examine your account records based on that information.
