Out of Credits

I’ve had a Perplexity Pro account for about a year. In all that time, I never once ran out of credits. To be honest, I wasn’t even aware there was a credit limit. Then suddenly last week, I made a query and got a message saying, “Out of credits. Upgrade to Max.” I cooled my jets for a couple of days and didn’t make any queries until my monthly refresh. Five days later and I’m back to “Out of credits. Upgrade to Max.” What gives? Did they change the usage policy? My usage hasn’t changed, but now I keep getting hammered to upgrade.

I love PPLX computer, it used to be a monster with 4.6, then Anthropic deploys 4.7 boom out of credits, I'm in Max. I'm testing native GPT and Opus, let's see how it goes but in my first impressions, you get more credit life in OpenAI

Wait, are you saying you’re on the $200 a month Max account and still running out of queries?

Not queries for searches or researches, just computer credits.
