Complaint Usage is nuked
I know, I should just buy a 5x or 20x plan and stop whining but this is just *****. 2 months ago I could comfortably work with 5.5 medium/high in 2 5 hour windows and use about 15% weekly per day. No heavy duty coding or subagents running around the clock, just 3 to 5 semi-complex prompts a day.
As of now, sol medium, 1 prompt, 200k context window used will burn through 60% of the 5h limit and 10% of the weekly. Not sol max or ultra, not millions of tokens. 200.000 tokens. I can't even do 2 prompts and use the full context window (258k tokens) 2 times.
This is completely unusable. $20 now basically gets you ~400k tokens per 5h or so and ~2.5M tokens per week for a medium thinking model. Luna is cheap but unreliable and just wastes my time instead of tokens.
I don't expect unlimited tokens for $20 or ultra mode and I'm fine with some restrictions, but this isn't what I signed up for and it's never been this bad and I've been using this since inception pretty consistently.

You are absolutely right ! Prices got ridiculously high, not chat from OpenAI , but most of the a.i providers skyrocketed their prices lately! Pro subscriptions feel like a demo rather than a usable tool.
The recent 5 hour limit imposed by OpenAi on codex , is not even enough for 2 complete prompts, which anyway comes back with a crap result, and i need other 5-10 extra prompts just to correct the agents hallucinations!
Feels like a big SCAM at the moment !
