The Free Plan Reads Less
A free plan takes in less of your document than a paid one, and what the model never read it cannot flag. That is most of the reason first attempts come back vague.
ChatGPT states the ceiling in pages of text.
ChatGPT plan | Text it takes in one go |
|---|---|
Free | about 12 pages |
Go and Plus | about 40 pages, or about 320 on the reasoning models |
Pro | about 250 pages, or about 680 on the reasoning models |
A twelve-page agreement fits anywhere. A sixty-page lease on a free plan does not, so the answer will be confident about the start and silent about the clauses further in. Free plans also cap how many files you can upload in a day.
Staying free is workable. Split the long document into sections, run the same brief on each one, and keep the paid plan in mind for the day a sixty-page agreement lands.
Your forty-page supplier agreement comes back summarised on a free plan, and the renewal clause on page thirty-one is missing. What is the most likely cause?
The prompt did not mention renewal clauses
PDFs lose their later pages when uploaded
The document is longer than the plan takes in, so the later pages were never read
Forty pages is past what a free plan takes in one go, so the clause was never in front of the model. Splitting the document into sections, or running it on a paid plan, puts page thirty-one where it can be read.
