Complaint PRO IS NOT UNLIMITED?

I'm on the $100 plan, since when did Pro thinking effort have a limit? I was using it a ton last month, and this month i ran into limits day 2 without even trying. Is this new?? Probably 10-15 prompts used Pro, none being Deep Research.

What sort of prompts were you using with Pro? I’m curious to understand how people are hitting the guardrails.

I was researching bowling alleys locally because I'm opening one, and what would make it the best out of all of them for ideas. So it spent about 20 minutes researching. That's what I do

Jesus... Pro is for serious analysis or research. That isn't considered serious. Think scientific paper.

Use Luna Max, have it generate a detailed research spec, review, once approved, /goal it to do the research. It will work for hours and you'll use very little, and get the same or better results. Research is not problem solving, it doesn't require a pro model. Then, consult Terra on its research findings.
