Perplexity's Pro subscription, priced at $20/month or $200/year, has seen its usage limits significantly reduced throughout 2026, contradicting official documentation. While Perplexity claims these reductions only affect accounts misusing promo codes, user reports indicate a widespread decrease in daily or weekly query allowances for Pro Search and access to top-tier models. Furthermore, a study by the Tow Center for Digital Journalism found that Perplexity Pro's accuracy and source attribution issues are comparable to, or worse than, the free version, with a separate investigation by GPTZero highlighting the prevalence of AI-generated sources being cited by the platform.
