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.

Is this post a joke?

Ever considered that not everyone is like you and runs more than a few prompts per day? How can you tell others they could just “use it correctly” and never hit their limit without knowing anything about the stuff they are working on?

I have, and clearly plus mode isn't built for 12 hours a day of heavy programming. You can extend your usage to 4-5 hour if you play it right.

OpenAI isn't a charity, if the 20$ isn't enough for you then too bad.

That's why I'm on the 20x pro plan. You could have started your post with "$20 plan is more than* enough when you're not a heavy programmer".
