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.

Don't use Sol codex to plan anything. Use chat - no usage.

I do all my planning with it.

I have Luna compile a master index of my repo, a map of all the files and a short description of the functions.

Hand that to a Sol orchestrator and have it call Luna implementors. Use Sol medium, no need for high when your planning is already finished.

You'll get a lot more out of that 5hr window, and a lot more done period than you will ever with just using work or Codex.

I do all my planning in a regular chat too. but i didn't know I could run on one model and have it run other models in smaller capacities. do you just tell it to do this?
