About the PUID and plus account subscription.

[hongyi-zhao]

I noticed the description here:

But even without using a plus account subscription, I still can see the PUID, as shown below:

So, I would like to clarify the following questions:

1. Do I really need a plus account subscription to get a PUID?
2. Do I really require a PUID to construct my own bypass or free endpoints?

See here for the related discussion.

Do I really need a plus account subscription to get a PUID?

Yes

Do I really require a PUID to construct my own bypass or free endpoints?

Depends on usage. The purpose of the _puid cookie is to remove IP based rate limits

Do I really need a plus account subscription to get a PUID?

Yes

If so, why still can I see my PUID with my normal account without plus subscription?

The purpose of the _puid cookie is to remove IP based rate limits

If I don't have a plus subscription, are there some other alternative methods to achieve this goal?

You said the following here:

"PUID": "<_puid cookie for plus accounts>", // Only if you have a plus account and use GPT-4

But I tried the following configuration, and it still works for revChatGPT.V1:

Cookies aren't cleared

Server hasn't reached rate limit for invalid PUIDs yet because it sets my own PUID as default for free users

[hongyi-zhao]

If so, why still can I see my PUID with my normal account without plus subscription?

Cookies aren't cleared

I cleared the Cookies and then re-login ChatGPT with a nonplus subscription account, and still can see the following information:

So, I think what I see is just the UID but not PUID, am I right?

If you use PUID from non-plus account the rate limit is still there (normal chat gpt account has a rate limit per hour even on the official web version)

[hongyi-zhao]

1. Is there a format difference between PUID and UID?
2. Where is the official documentation on the rate limit mentioned here?

[David xu]

PUID跟UID是两个东西，PUID只能在plus账户的cookies里找到。这个中文文档很多错误得。

no difference
No official docs, only from experience: A blog about this

Yes. The PUID is a cookie _puid

Can someone fluent in Chinese open a PR?

I notice if you add PUID you get 500 error even with plus accounts.
