As OpenAI's privacy pages put it on September 28, 2026. Neither question arises on llmwise: it doesn't train on your content, and you decide when a chat is deleted.

ChatGPT Go and ChatGPT Plus: training and retention
App	Training on your chats	How to opt out	Retention
ChatGPT	Yes, unless you opt out	Turn off “Improve the model for everyone”, or use Temporary Chat	Temporary Chats up to 30 days; the page gives no period for saved chats

“Data controls let you choose whether your conversations help train OpenAI models.”
Quoted from OpenAI Help Center: Data controls in ChatGPT

Both in one: llmwise Pro

llmwise Pro ($20) beside both plans. Its monthly counts assume the allowance goes to one model.

ChatGPT Go, ChatGPT Plus and llmwise Pro: each model's count
Model	ChatGPT Go	ChatGPT Plus	llmwise Pro
GPT-6 Astra	Not on Go: as GPT-6 Pro, from Pro $100 up	In Work and Codex only: an estimated 5–45 every 5 hours	Up to 31 a month
GPT-6.1 Sol	Not named on its pages	Not named on its pages	Up to 125 a month
GPT-6 Sol	Not in Chat on any plan yet	In Work and Codex; not in Chat yet	Up to 125 a month
Claude Fable 5.1	Not offered: GPT only	Not offered: GPT only	Up to 31 a month

Behind Pro's counts is a $7.50 monthly ceiling on AI cost, its fair-use limit: typical use stays under it, and huge messages or deep research get there first. Every limit, explained.
