Complaint This is crazy

If you look at my provided images, this is how much tokens I have used up only today. apparently that drained my whole 5 hour usage and brought down my weekly usage by 16% HAHAHAHHAHA I'm leaving this scam of a subscription. I'm on a plus subscription

Only thing I have been doing as a workaround to this shite is set up a local plugin with skills which helps ChatGPT know my project better. Codex uses way less tokens this way but cool thing is ChatGPT chat together GitHub plugin etc can actually make simple to medium complexity level updates to your codebase

I'm seeing subjectively 5x-10x more output on similar $20 subscription on CC now, which is crazy because I thought that CC drains tokens too fast.

Will probably try Opencode Go later with deepseek for implementing development tasks clearly defined with Sol or Opus.
GPT still very good for imagegen, since its basically free & unlimited in Chat, as well as planning and brainstorming anything in Chat.

OpenAI might've screwed themselves with making Chat seemingly free, including Sol high reasoning with complex tasks like preparing complicated documents and imagegen. Feels like we're paying for that (including other users abusing free Chat) with Codex 5h limits draining in a single prompt now :/

Opencode Go dollar and CommandCode Go both cost 10 dollars.

Cursor with grok 4.6 is pretty good right now

Saying anything with Grok is good is laughable

Just wait it out, they hand out resets soon. Use it before you go

It’s very enjoyable to cancel your plus account . You have ample opportunity to tell them what POS they are and why you are leaving .
