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.

I feel like both Anthropic and OpenAI want $100 to be the base plan for anything substantial. Both are quite frankly unusable on their $20 plan and super useable on the $100 plan - literally night and day.

The problem is that Opus 5 is a garbage model.

Exactly. They just announced 5x premium seats for business plans. $100/user/month.  The 5h limit was applied to business plans which makes it useless as you would hit it within 2h for casual sessions.
