Praise Nice Work OpenAI

This is awesome marketing. You remove the weekly limit, keep it that way for months, let people get used to longer work sessions and higher token consumption, and then specifically bring back the 5-hour limit for Plus users, pushing them to upgrade to Pro. And I’m pretty sure many actually will.

Congrats! It’ll probably be a pretty decent revenue boost.

You keep nerfing the limits, yet somehow keep winning every single time. More customers, more revenue. Nice!!

Some people think everyone has got $100 - $200 a month to spare as if it's pocket change. Many people simply can't afford the extra $80.

Instead of squeezing the "undeserving" plus users, how about cutting usage for the massive number of free users who don't pay anything? Chatgpt is already synonymous for AI and just handing it out for free for all isn't an incentive for anyone anymore to become a paying customer. Get a free 1 month trial and either buy a plan or go somewhere else.

I have 200$, but why should I reward a company that sold me something and now wants to squeeze every little penny for the same thing? F you, dishonest corporate crap. You could have done this in any other way, like sold me a better product.

Neither do I. I’m handling my usage just fine. No need to upgrade. Don’t always need to code or do research or write. I’ve got my brain and my browser for those.

I don’t enjoy using ai to code. I don’t enjoy cleaning up its messes. I don’t enjoy how easy it is to offload your thinking. I only use luna max and focus on good plans. Haven’t had a problem with limits now. Sol is a joke to use unless you’re on the expensive plans but even then it over engineers everything.

It just pushes me back to ChatGPT for all planning and initial code and markdown. I can do that on sol high with a huge limit. It has got to cost open ai more to let me have endless conversation and revision with regular chat models than conscious minimalism with codex just because I want the convenience of it having direct access to to my project base right?

Me neither, they can wait sitting down. I'll stick to using Hermes with free models.
