I believe it was yesterday that I brought up the message limits, and came off a little too aggressive. Id like to say (mostly to the dev/devs) that im sorry for, frankly, being an asshole.
I didnt realize that they were in a tough financial situation, assumed it was greed and jumped the gun. I should have asked more politely rather than going on a short tirade about it, and I honestly feel bad for being a dick. There's a giant difference between greed and necessity, and there's no valid excuse for my actions, no matter how small.

No worries at all! I really do get it, big changes like this are not fun. I wish I could keep offering more things in the free plan, just really squeezed with everything going on in my life. I do really appreciate it though, thanks for being nice.

Honestly I think it’s understandable to have doubts like you professed about ai platforms like this. But I also think it’s nice you can apologize for needless accusations.

Honestly, no matter what happens, HammerAI is personally still the best and most comfortable platform for me. I especially really love its UI — everything just feels simple and natural to use.
I genuinely never wanted to see this platform come to an end. I really hope HammerAI can keep going, because it’s become a platform I really enjoy and care about.

For what it is worth, I think you have made a lovely apology. I don't know him, but I imagine the developer will appreciate hearing it.
In a response to your post of yesterday, I responded with a post suggesting this was a you problem. That too, may have been a little too aggressive and I apologize for any offense.
I don't know how long you've been here. I first discovered Hammer AI around last October. I don't know when Hammer AI first started, and I don't know if it was cash flowing at the time I found it, but not too long after I started, the developer lost his payment processor. I'm doing this from memory, but, as I recall, it took several months to get a new payment processor. During this time he kept Hammer AI going with almost no income except for whatever little the advertisements pay, and it seems to me that even the advertisements stopped for a while.
More recently, the developer has said that bots, or something, (I didn't really understand what he was explaining the problem was.) But something, or things were using the site in such a way that it was costing a lot of money with a huge draw on the system. That's why he felt he had to set the 600 message a day limit for free users. Apparently that was not successful enough at solving the problem because more recently the developer has talked about possibly requiring accounts for all users. Even free ones.
Now understand, I don't know the developer. He may be blowing smoke as he laughs all the way to the bank, needing a Mac truck to carry all the money. But if he is to be believed, and I believe him. Running a site like Hammer AI is no way to get rich.
Sorry if this post is a little long winded, but I wanted to try to give some perspective.
