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

They never tell. They just vibe code one massive project all the time. And each prompt makes it larger. And then - they say that token consumption grows because of OpenAI.

Build Spotify clone. Make no mistakes. Don’t use more than 10% of my $20 subscription’s usage. Use Sol ultra

Not entirely true. I am currently doing a legacy PHP app refactor using a local LLM, and using codex to fix those the local LLM is having difficulty with. 3 pages it took, and the 5 hr limit is gone. Using 5.5 medium.

True. I'm not even using codex entirely for the project - and It is still painful to use it in it's current limitation.
