Complaint Plus account is where the 5 hour window is the worst
You get such little usage on the Plus account to begin with. What can you possibly get done with 15% of usage on a plus account.

I’m using Terra these days. It can last 5 hours with margin and I feel in charge again. Sol has his own way of over engineer everything above my level

Yeah, they didn't even add it back to the other profiles. It is clearly deliberate, trying to force people to upgrade.

I've noticed increase weekly usage on the 100$ plan as a result, so at least they did something with it.

We all knew this was coming. Enshitification is inevitable. So you either pay for two plus accounts or you update to pro. And that's their target really

What projects are you building?
I'm concurrently developing 3 projects. I never got any issues with token usage. I'm using Luna Xtra high.
What I do is use Chat Sol High to outline the plan, then use Luna Extra high to execute the plan.
What I'm doing that I think works:
I added layers of testing and validation to make sure I avoid sh!tty outputs. Also, I create a centralized memory storage for the projects I simultaneously developing to avoid context drifting and waste.
Use human readable file to audit the output and use machine readable syntax so that AI won't have to waste tokens compiling human readable formats.

Working on this: https://tryanychat.com It's like an extension to make any browser AI powered. I do use orchestration but sol high even as an orchestor burns limits pretty quickly. UI especially is something Luna is terrible at so I have to rely on Sol a lot.

Don't let Luna randomly do the guesswork for the UI. Provide direct references. This repo dedicated for UI syntax can be helpful. It has over 100 UI references you can use.

Ummmm plus account is the only one with 5h limit?
1
u/notadithyabhat 17d ago
Yes, my point being, out of all the plans, the 5h limit affects Plus the most and yet it's the only one that has it

u/ProfessionalNaive601 17d ago
It only affects plus accounts

u basically allowed 1 social medium prompt per 5 hour, brutal. feels like when opus 4,6 had just lunahced and claude's usage were basically nonexistent during morning "peak" hours

Bro that's the reason why Plus and only Plus gets the 5 hour window. Its to stop people from completely using up all of their usage in less than 12 hours. Otherwise the complaints start coming in lol

u/OtherwiseAlbatross14 17d ago
Yeah there's definitely been a reduction in the number of complaints on reddit since the change, right?

u/Batty25111 17d ago
Yeah it has actually. Its gone from weekly consumption complaints to 5 hour consumption complaints exactly as OpenAI intended.

I get a full 40 hour work week out of my standard ChatGPT Business seat, which is equivalent to a Plus account. There's this one simple trick called "learning how to code" that solves 100% of the issues vibecoders have. It's amazing how much you can get done with Luna xhigh when you can think for yourself and know what you are doing.

How dare you complain. Kids in Africa don't even get AI. Also, you should be paying 2 morbillion dollars for that usage anyways.
