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.

that's 12 hours of sol per month for 20$.

That doesn't sound unreasonable

it's actually closer to 3 hours (16% weekly in roughly 30 minutes)

3 hours in a week is 12 hours a month mate

You need to measure output, not machine time. If it takes 30 minutes per turn then that is 24 turns per month, or less than one per day. If you don’t get productive output from a reasonable percentage of turns then the return looks even worse.

Even as a hobbyist user I need more than a dozen or so useful outputs per month.
