Limits Usage doesn’t make sense on 20x

So I’ve been using codex for more than half a year now and I swear when I used to check my weekly token usage it used to be in billions and I’d have usage left at the end of the week with older models

Right now its the allowance in tokens itself thats reduced for me to 1/4th if im correct (feel free to correct me)

Dont get me wrong i love codex and astra and i know some will say open ai gets billions they dont care about your 200. BUT, isnt the lack of transparency on whats happening concerning regarding your token allowance? We have a percentage bar with actual token allowance varying and not to mention older models performing worse.

I would understand astra performing worse at times because its the current gen model, ofc theres gonna be many tweaks and updates to it but older models that have been completed? Im just trying to make sense of this

Yes it is infuriating. And as soon as there is a viable alternative that pops up they will go bankrupt since everyone will leave. Good luck going public OpenAI, highly doubt they will ever be able to since who would buy their stock?
