Detailed Answer
DALL-E 3 is a legacy OpenAI image model; its API access ended on May 12, 2026. Current ChatGPT image generation should not be equated with DALL-E 3 access. If you use ChatGPT or Microsoft Designer, check that product’s current models, plans, and usage limits. Do not apply legacy DALL-E 3 pricing, free quotas, or API instructions to those services. New API projects should follow OpenAI’s current image model and migration documentation. [OpenAI API deprecations](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/deprecations).
