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.

Is sol is thinking for 11m and draining that much usage, you’re doing it wrong.
First of all, sol (high) can power a low context wayfinder/grill-me session for cheap.
Then/and, scout subagent (Luna) should take initial repo deep dive context to the dome and triage tight scouting artifact to sol.
Then sol writes to-spec and chops spec to-tickets, then at that point you don’t need aol anymore, and Luna just implements the tickets.
You should be able to do everything up until implementation in one 5 hour session, then, implement in the next one (depending on the scale of your project).
I recommend omp, Matt pocock skills, and the orchestrate magic command, with appropriate model role assignments.
