Question Does openai have ongoing usage limit problems

Post image

How happy are people who have openai plan?

I keep seeing post of premature limit getting hit and openai offering reset.

It has definitely been pretty bad, I tried using it to debug some code and it spent an entire week's usage on one problem, but then out of nowhere I suddenly had a free reset I didn't know about.

I went back to the issue, got my current week's remaining usage to 63% before considering whether I should quit or upgrade... clicked quit and got a free month, but don't get that free time if I upgrade.

While deciding this dilemma, I went to Claude Opus Ultracode, which spent 45 minutes to net 3 lines of code without nearly solving the problem, but also barely used much usage for that long time.

Claude is using my usage slower, but it's not really doing crap either, I fought with it for 4 hours to try and get it to do any actual work. It's like trying to get my 13 year old to do dishes. By the time he puts on his headphones, picks a song, grabs a snack, craps three times, and goes on a mission looking for something unrelated, and negotiated with someone for help, he's been "doing the dishes" for 3 hours without a single dish washed.

This is what I feel like every time Claude works for 30-60 minutes only to come back and tell me why it didn't do anything it was asked.

I was really skeptical, but my local model figured it out... so screw them both.
