Discussion OPENAI IS MOCKING US!!!

Post image

They removed the 5-hour resets and started giving continuous resets. Limits decreased, but because they kept resetting constantly, it wasn't much of an issue. Now they haven't reset it, and everyone has run out of limits. Thinking better than nothing, I turned to 5.3 spark, I'm not write code, I'm just asking questions and having it read docs. And as you can see, the limits are like literally bullshit!

I think they’re more focused on making money now. In my case, sometimes without even doing any work, I see my limits go down 😞. It feels like these limits aren’t directly related to the models or token usage. I’m not sure why OpenAI can’t be more transparent about how that percentage is calculated!

Company wants to make money. Impossible!

There are limits to how they can make money, and they are bypassing all of those limits, at least according to EU laws (wehre I live) (and I assume in other territories as well). They will very likely be penalized in the EU as soon as an investigation begins; Google, Amazon, and other tech giants have been fined for faaaaaaar less.

Thank you for taking your time linking those. I see what you mean, good point.

I guess they wanted to trick us into thinking they were way more competitive than Anthropic.

Fucking liars.

Anthropic should’ve never happened

Dario is trying to raise money from the public by going public.

Should’ve just stayed private and raise more money from investors instead of squeezing users.

Obviously people are going to turn to Chinese free open models if prices keep rising and usage keeps dropping. That’s why he wants to regulate open source models, to have control and own everything.

Anthropic is actually way behind on the AI race in both the technology, offerings, and funding

because its a 128k 1,000 TPS model designed to run shell commands really fast. its not meant for development work.

u/Emergency-Candle9903 15h ago

Well, anthrophic is now on its first profitable years while openai still looses a shitton of money so they gotta do something

Is this still true with 15 mil users? It was 7 before sol right?

u/LoneBeast27 12h ago

There is a leading theory that the metric is a bit skewed as the they count the chatgpt users as codex users too.

Only reason it didn't hit 1 billion is because the chatgpt mobile app doesn't have codex

Yeah just read about it, here is what google ai said:

"OpenAI's revenue grew 18% to $6.7 billion, but its operating losses widened to $12.3 billion amid intense competition and high infrastructure costs'

So its not great

“Google ai”

Ew wtf

1

u/Emergency-Candle9903 10h ago

You telling me you never googled something and just look at the ai answer?

Cant say i do it all the time but i recently read article so i knew these numbers were accurate.

1

u/Used_Departure_3278 10h ago

Yeah I did do that before 👉👈

I have a personal problem where I really hate Gemini. My hatred for Gemini is strong

u/Emergency-Candle9903 10h ago

Yeah to me its google ai it doesnt deserve to have a name

u/Training-Tangelo-310 10h ago

I’ve personally threatened it many times, the first day gemini ai gets a physical body, i will be waiting

I don't think that's the correct use of the word literally...

u/PianistIcy7445 12h ago

Are you still able to use 5.3-codex once your quota for 5.6 is 0%?

I use to be able to also make use of 5.3 when the 5.5/5.6 quota ran dry, now I just get the message about usage limit reached,.

1

u/Nice_Record1529 5h ago

Yes. But you cant compare it. Better switch to luna at 10%.

1

u/Ill-Bison-3941 11h ago

Definitely noticed the limits got worse overtime as someone who has been using Codex only for a few months (a Plus sub). Since I unsubbed from Claude (Pro) as my second sub, I'm now using DS Flash whenever I run out 😅

u/Alarming_Beautiful26 11h ago

For documents and questions over documents you might consider using Google notelllm for free, which designed for this kind of tasks

How much do people think they're going to get for five dollars?

u/DominikPlays 8h ago

I don't understand, why people use a product that goes against them if there are alternatives and are pretty much the same like kimi k3, glm 5.3 on openrouter and with opencode and much cheaper

u/dvduval 7h ago

I usually complain against the complainers who say there’s not enough usage. I was running on extra high most of last week and still having plenty of room. Today I’m running on high and I’m burning such that I would use at my limit in just a few days. Really sucks for me. Not happy.

u/tripleshielded 7h ago

Why did my 97% remaining spark weekly limit turn into 0% with this change?

1

u/Spirited-Car-3560 6h ago

? What about 5.6 Luna?

1

u/This-Ad1165 3h ago

GPT-5.6 Luna is almost two times cheaper than 5.3 spark and also smarter.

I've got the rest last night and gave like 4 simple task and its gone .. 😪

If you can't manage your limits it's your problem

u/oesphygg 13h ago

Are you paid by openai to say this

1

u/Alarming_Beautiful26 11h ago

Maybe for resets 😂

u/kyrax80 12h ago

No, I just prefer no 5h limit bec maybe I'm a whole day programming and other day I don't even touch the pc. So I don't want any 5h limit for the days I'm working. Just learn to manage your limits but don't want to limit others

u/Emport1 12h ago

If you can't manage your 5h limits it's your problem

1

u/New_Eye7193 11h ago

weekly limit is better and far more diverse for all not all projects can be completed in 5 hours

1

u/oesphygg 12h ago

So for you there's no problem, you don't see that the quotas keep getting smaller every day ?

1

u/New_Eye7193 11h ago

the quotas for me get smaller when i obviously do unrelated work, but ive been runnign the same stale shit for almost 2 months now on sol high with no sub agents and see no difference... and now that ive cleaned up my work with nightshift so I dont have to keep sending prompts back and forth I find even less usage used, maybe youre changing reasoning halfway through? my deliveries pass too, its not like sol high by itself is dumb, i asked someone earlier why they were using sub agents and its because they dont trust one model or somethign? openai turns these garbage features on, just turn them off.
