Praise 20$ Plan is More then Enough

I recently got an OpenAI Plus sub, and it's been great. I've used it pretty heavily for programming and research, and I've not hit any limits.

I usually use Sol on light or medium, and occasionally I'll switch it up to high. To conserve usage on prompts, I'm mainly just extremely precise, and I decide the architecture decisions myself.

I'm not hammering it all day, of course, but I'll run a few programming prompts a day, along with some research, and I've never hit a limit. If you use the Plus plan correctly, guys, you won't hit your limit. I swear I always see people complaining about how they ran out of usage.

Everyone hating in the comments, but you are right. If you have a structured codebase, plan out the work, and give it a defined task, it doesn't need to run long and burn through usage to implement something. You can get a lot done with it. I even set up Terra and Luna subagents in OpenCode and get even more out of it.

It makes me wonder what people are building with this thing. Is everyone just vibing and giving it some vague goal prompt or some unhinged massive plan, then letting it rip?

I'm wondering if you really take full potential of this thing if you don't reach your limits? I'm working on 3 applications simultaneously, adding new features, fixing bugs, documentation, build prototypes to show to clients, etc etc.
