Microsoft has finally increased Bing’s ChatGPT limit to 8 turns per conversation, up from 6 last month, after much demand and feedback from its search engine community.

The rollout for the loosening of the chat limit is immediate, and all users who are within the Bing Preview will get the upgrade today. However, it still should be noted that the daily chat limit with Bing is 100 turns per day and that SERP (search engine result page) queries do not count towards the Chat limit imposed on Bing.

Microsoft Bing with 8 turn Chat Limit

As for other updates, a turn counter has been added to Bing Chat to indicate how much chat turns have been used in the conversation. The addition of the feature was because users found it difficult to anticipate when they will have to reset to a new topic, due to the conversation chat limit imposed by Microsoft.

The release notes from Microsoft also highlight that “Chat Tones” were added to the latest update release of Microsoft Bing. Chat Tones enable users with the ability to toggle the tone of chat from “Precise”, which focuses on shorter, more search-focused answers, to “Creative” which gives responses that are longer and more descriptive. The middle setting (“Balanced”) is somewhere in-between both Precise and Creative.

Bing users will notice a colour change in the UX between purple, blue, and green depending on which chat tone is selected. Microsoft states that the addition of Chat Tones is to let users decide the type of chat behaviour that best meets their needs.

Lastly, the new update also irons out some bugs and provides fixes to the current Bing ChatGPT. Microsoft states that it has improved some chat behaviours that previously would have unnecessarily constrained responses or made them appear defensive or adversarial. Bing’s responses should be more engaging and provide more elaborate observations after the update.
