When Microsoft first gave select users exclusive access to Bing's AI chatbot, some of the chatbot's shortcomings became evident. Microsoft found that long chat sessions confused the model, and as a result the company decreased the chat limit.

Since then, the tech giant has worked to gradually expand its chat limit and the biggest limit yet is here. 

Last week, Bing Chat users began noticing that their chat and session limits had increased to 20 chats per session and 200 total chats per day.

Michael Schechter, vice president, growth and distribution at Microsoft, confirmed via Twitter, that Microsoft was testing the increase over the weekend to see how things went. Then, on Monday, Schechter updated the Tweet thread sharing that "Everything seems to be going well".

Yusuf Mehdi, Microsoft corporate vice president and consumer chief marketing office, also cryptically tweeted on Monday about the new chat limit, which can be interpreted to be a confirmation about the arrival of the new limit. 

20/200!

You can confirm whether you have the new limit or not by visiting the chatbot, submitting a prompt, and seeing how many more you have to use after that, as seen by the photo below.
