Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!
Thanks for your detailed question, andre boi.
I understand how confusing it can be to encounter conflicting information while actively using Microsoft Copilot. You have done a great job documenting your experience, and I will clarify what is currently known based on the latest updates:
- Microsoft Copilot does enforce daily upload limits, but these limits are currently NOT officially documented or clearly differentiated between tiers. There is also no visible usage tracker or reset timer in the Copilot interface. If you encounter the “upload limit reached” message, the recommended course of action is to wait a few hours and try again.
- Regarding your subscription tier, Microsoft does not display your active Copilot plan directly in the desktop or mobile app. However, you can check your subscription (if your organization allows it):
- Opening the Microsoft 365 home screen
- Clicking your profile picture in the top-right corner
- Selecting My Account > Subscriptions
- Microsoft has officially confirmed that GPT‑5 is going to be available to all Copilot users, including those on the free tier. This means the "for Pro/Enterprise only” message you saw is likely context-specific or outdated due to a recent change in policy. Microsoft is simply expanding access to GPT‑5 more widely than initially expected to attract more users.
To summarize, a broader rollout of GPT-5 is currently underway, and you can check your subscription tier in your Microsoft account settings. I understand that the existence of upload limits, which are not clearly documented or visible in the UI at the moment, could be frustrating and difficult to follow.
However, Microsoft will continue to upgrade Copilot, and these limits will soon become more clearly defined and visible within the user interface in future updates! Thanks for your patience!
