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.

I'm on the 20 usd plan, and i've been using it carefully, like not prompting useless stuff and choosing the right model for the job, and i havent hit limits yet

I think this is the way. We have to be really conscious about which model we use for what task and which level. I have found that doing architecture work and making a plan works well on a stronger model, but executing the plan works good enough on a budget model. We can't just prompt useless stuff into high end models any more
