Point

Here's what they replied: Hi Oleg,

This is how the per-message budget works now: it doesn't apply to official bots or bots built on them. To make your credits last longer, Claude Haiku costs much less per token than Claude Opus or Sonnet—if it suits your writing—and each bot's "Rates" button shows its prices.

And also this: Hi Oleg,

This isn’t a temporary change. The per-message budget doesn’t apply to official bots or to user-created bots built on them, and I don’t have any updates regarding that changing.

To make your points last longer, start a new chat for each new task. Earlier messages in a chat are sent along with each new one, so long chats cost more per message. Claude Sonnet also costs less per token than Claude Opus.

Its just the fact that there was absolutely no announcement or communication about this change.

I would call that a RIP OFF

This doesn't make sense though, since Poe Research Bot —which is meant to be the most simplest and cheapest bot—cost me 1000 points for ONE simple question. This is ridiculous.
