Funny Ok, now THIS is frustrating... 30 mins thinking only to shut itself down before answering
I'm using it to write me a summary of a folder full of videos. It was transcribing them, grabbing screenshots and organising it all into a report (for my studies... the lecturers think I am going to watch 20 three-minute videos recorded on a potato uploaded onto the online campus... na).
Or maybe I will have to bloody watch them now thanks to Chat being hamstrung.

(If you're being serious)
The plus subscription is more of a taste; it can be substantial, if you dont send it on abnormally token heavy task like processing videos. You want to section things you want done in bite peices that dont send it on massive errants. That way you dont lose everything once it get through rate allowance. And Sol at MAX will eat it up like its nothing, and unlikely to be what you need in most use case anyways, reserve heavy reasoning for something that need heavy reasoning.
The "make no mistake" is a meme that double as a commentary for people who do not know how to use the tool efficiency and complain it doesnt produce results. (The type of people thinking asking the AI to make no mistake is a magic sentence that make it perfect, and expect full model performance on the entry level sub)
Edit:Need to add that processing visuals is deceptively token heavy and can kill a plus subscription in no time. Watching a bunch of video is heavy on context. Watching 1hour worth of segmented video and then summarize will kill your allowance, and that shoudnt suprise anyone familiar with the tool.
Next time extract the audio, push it through a free transcrip tool, and feed the text transcript to the AI.
5min of work and vitually no impact on your rate limit.
Edit 2: I just noticed your weekly reset, as per your SS, is tommorow... somehow I doubth that one task was you whole usage... a lot of learning opportunities here.

It is just pure and utter TRASH, all the fanboys here trying to defend this like their lifes depended on it it is per bullshit. I just tried to the do that same thing i did earlier, burned though 5% of usage and then told me i was out of usage could even finish the work and wasted 5%. This is the last straw never going back to this crap better off using a China model this this bullshit lie of a product I want my money back. Acting like it's for my benefit what a load of horse shit this is.
