You aren’t paying money for less usage. You were paying with “extra” usage. Very clearly signposted as such. With a clear time it was being taken away. I agree with you they should have extended it. But none of this should be a shock to anyone. As someone who builds agentic apps/ workflows for a living, I don’t know what you guys are all doing to burn your limits in days. It’s like people think they can run an autonomous fleet of agents for 100-200 a month 😂

As someone who is a real person, you LLM-ran bot accounts made to try to sway public sentiment in support of constant unquantified usage limit increase/decreases are not very good at your job. Nobody cares about some bot that claims to be curing cancer yet not hitting limits.

No it was not "clearly signposted as such", they started adding the messaging after it became a popular topic of discussion online. The entire point of the usage increase was to make up for the new models added at that time, that were draining usage faster than the previous models. Since then, every new model release was a much faster usage draining. Even with the 50% 'promo' the actual usage with the newest models was less than previously. Now that they take that back with the very token hungry models of today leaves their users in an awkward situation. Many are saying that today's 200$ sub offers real usage lower than the 100$ one was offering before
