🚨 Reddit-Verified Real World Caveats & Workarounds Aggregated from r/perplexity_ai

💳 Promo Auto-Renew Trap Verified

Xfinity/PayPal 1-yr codes require a credit card and default to $200/yr auto-renew. Tip: Cancel auto-renew right after activation; 1-year access remains locked in.

📑 File Size & Truncation Verified

PDFs >25MB or >500 pages get silent text chunk sampling instead of full context indexing. Tip: Split large manuscripts into focused sections before upload.

⏳ 5-Hour Rolling Burst Cap Verified

During high global traffic hours, consecutive Claude 3.5 Sonnet queries may trigger a temporary cool-down if >30 requests/5-hour window are executed.

🔗 Citation Drift on Fast Model Verified

Quick search mode occasionally pulls stale SEO blog spam. Pro Search with Copilot enabled filters authoritative sources with verifiable DOIs.
