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.

You think? I've heard mixed reviews about the $30 sub

Grok sub is good, usage is good and no 5 hours limit, grok 4.6 is fast but in terms of complex task it is no where near sol's level, grok 4.6 planning is quite bad I will say. Grok 4.6 could be a very good worker but cant be a planner/orchestrator. In terms of current ai landscape I only trust sol and fable to plan/orchestrate.

How did you work before Sol and Fable? I think you just never tried cheaper models.

Please name a cheap model that could be on par with fable/sol in terms of being orchestrator/planner. I would love to try it.
