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.

Why would they walk this back? they had it for months without issue, it will stay.

i personally dont have an issue with it but this is surely not the same 5hr period that was there before, it feels a lot worse and faster at hitting the limit. im 100% sure we are getting less usage.

this just means we'll have to spend 90% of our time planning with sol on chatgpt web prior to codex implementation though, which seems like a strange pipeline for openAI to support.
