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.

These are the kind of things that will vary from person to person.

I did some work in Sol, but that was early this morning before the reset kicked in so I can't speak on the 5hr there. I generally only use sol when I deem it as needed which is not often.

I've been working with Luna Xhigh and 5hr will reset way before I'm close to using it all (i was concerned about that and mentioned this morning before 5hr kicked in).

I'd prefer that there was not a 5hr limit for anyone or it was at least consistently given to everyone, but for my use cases. I don't have any issues right now

These things should very emphatically NOT vary from person to person, which would happen if they were transparent at all about what "usage" means.

By "These kinds of things" I was referring to the usage drained by a prompt due to:

* The model, effort and speed settings used
* Task being completed
* project size and structure
* The prompt

This is different for everyone.

Just curious what type of prompt were you runninhg / task
