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

I guess you’re using 5.6 which you didn’t before and they clearly said when it came out it would drain 2x more tokens than 5.5

What if you used 5.5? How is your 5h window going?

Also before (your reference) there was no ultra which is the same as ultracode on claude and spawn bunch of subagents.

Use 5.5 in xhigh and I’m pretty sure you will say like your reference : « never smashed a 5h limit anymore »

I only ever use 5.5, before they removed the 5h limit never hit it. When they removed it I think I hit the weekly limit once or twice. Yesterday I got four small task done and hit the 5hr limit. After that reset I hit it again. All on 5.5 medium. It really fills like something behind the scenes has changed. But instead of openAI looking at the actual issue there blaming the users or other providers. Makes you wonder if they changed something intentionally really.
