If Character.ai added limits and breaks,

Understand this first — you can’t fully remove them;

• These limits are intentional:
– Time limits (session breaks)
– Chat restrictions
– Feature limitations

• Especially for minors:
– Chats may be limited or even removed entirely
– Some users are restricted to short daily usage windows

This is a platform policy, not a bug.

What you can do to reduce restrictions;

Fix age classification;

• If you’re 18+:
– Verify your age properly
– Use official verification if prompted

• Misclassified users get stricter limits

Use the correct account setup;

• Make sure:
– Logged in with correct account
– No shared or flagged accounts

• Suspicious activity can increase restrictions

Reduce “trigger behavior”;

• Avoid:
– Long continuous sessions
– Rapid message spam

• The system may:
– Add breaks after heavy usage (anti-addiction design)

Try technical fixes;

• Clear cache / reinstall app
• Disable VPN
• Switch device/browser

This is the information we have, but if you have more insights from your experience, please share in the comments.
