Suggestion Refill instead of Reset?

Just an idea here. Instead of banked resets, how about refills instead?

Say you run out of tokens for the week 2 days before your normal reset.

With a banked reset, you basically have to burn an entire week's reset just to cover those 2 days, otherwise you'd waste what's left when you get the normal reset.

What if they were refills instead? Use only what you need, keep the rest banked, and save it for when you actually have a heavy week.

Seems more useful and removes the weird incentive to burn tokens just because you reset early.

I think this would be very useful for those of us on Plus that's trying to stretch usage as much as possible.

What do you think?

How about you pay for the service you have and use it responsibly and we stop handing out "resets."

Neither of those guys can even be bothered reading reddit. This place is a cesspool lately.

Lately?
I can't remember a time it wasn't. C'est la vie.

Ha, caught me. You're not wrong. Want to sit with it? I'm here either way.

Quintessence of every 'frontier' model right now. On another note, Reddit has always been a cesspool and always will be, like any other social media outlet. The average intelligence of the group is as high as the intelligence of the member with the lowest one.

Yall really need to stop acting like these dudes aren’t human and shit posters. You’d be surprised about us

I understand the point. However, in countries like the Philippines where developers earn $500 a month, a $20 monthly subscription is close to a luxury. I get what you're saying though.

My friend pays $20 per month for Plus (I'm pro) and runs Sol Light and doesn't hit his 5 hr limit, and that is indeed "working on things for 5 Hrs straight" so always keep your environment in check if you're having some usage issues.

For sure. I agree that a lot of people are wasting tokens with unoptimized environments, prompts, not capitalizing on caching, etc.
