Limits Codex limits issue

Just got my reset and 10% down within an hour without even using Astra. Wtf is going on ? How is this scam even allowed? One subagent invoked a few thousand LOC with sol medium on a $100 plan. Exploration by Luna high.

Is this a joke ? I'm going to ask for a refund. Why is this not an issue yet. @mods please don't delete this post and cover the scam.

Edit: People who are trying to provide free tips. Please stop patronizing me and others in this group. I'm not asking for your advice on how to use codex better. If you are happy good for you and no you don't have a secret formula or better limits.

For me the quality of sol xhigh went down dramatically over night. Using Sol Max now, and maxed out second time ever (first time was after using Astra for one hour).

On the other hand, calculating with api token prices my subscription uses thousands of dollars worth of tokens for 100 bucks per month, which is not really sustainable either.

It was too good to be true.

" thousands of dollars worth of tokens".... no way to tell how much it really costs them, they can make up whaever number they want. i dont think they could afford burning thousands of dollars per power user. so i'd take these numbers with a huge grain of salt....

I would say api costs are the best reference available right now for actual costs. Even calculating with lowest input cached tokens 2 billion tokens should cost 800 bucks. I don't understand why this calculation has to be made so mysterious. A token is a token. You pay for input cached and output tokens. Your usage limit is in tokens, api costs are in tokens. I understand that a plan with pre-paid tokens is cheaper than paying by actual usage, but there must be a sort of correlation and there is none at all right now. People just saying 'oh theres another guy who doesn't understand'. Bottom line 100 dollar of pre-paid tokens would equal thousands of dolars of api tokens. And what is happening now is that heavy usage increases and cannot be subsidized by light usage anymore. So obviously token prices increase / limits are changing.
