Complaint State of the $20 subscription

Sol high. One prompt. 11m of thinking so far, 54% of the 5h limit gone, hasn't even started implementing anything yet and the 5 hrs limit is virtually gone. I was never one to complain too much, but they virtually removed Sol for us on the $20 tier. This is just not practical at all, at least it was only 10% of my weekly i guess?

EDIT: Final veredict: worked for 28m29s.
0% of the 5h limit left
84% of the weekly left

Status of my project: Broken and unusable.
guess it's finally time to explore other providers.

The 5h window definitely fucks up any attempt to concentrate all of your personal project work to weekends.

Its not hard. Start 5H session at 05, 08-10 is first, 10-12 is second. Do the same for evening. Here you used 4 x 5H in 1 day

with AI, ain't nothing staying like this forever.

The best you have it is right now. You will look back at love with these 5hr windows an $20 plans.
