Depending on the model used, requests can use up to 128,000 tokens shared between prompt and completion. Some models, like GPT-4 Turbo, have different limits on input and output tokens. There are often creative ways to solve problems within the limit, e.g. condensing your prompt, breaking the text into smaller pieces, etc.
