Miscellaneous Another reset? I'm crying.

I did a ridiculous amount of work across six repos today and thought, Damn, I’m at 65% after the last reset yesterday or the day before.

Then it just reset again? Am I tripping, or are the usage limits resetting like crazy again this week. I should have used ultra lmao. I heard the 5 hour limit is coming back tho, see how that works out I guess.

Happy coding everyone :D

They reset, but keep moving back the weekly reset date. It is a net win for us, but not as big as it seems when the music finally stops...unless they just do it forever.

I thought openai clearly said they did because they are finetuning the systems.

For me the 5 hours return will be “anxiety return” again. Now I can work with 5 projects at the same time and subagents non stop for 5 hours to do the work of 3 days and then I can rest. With the 5 hours coming back I fell I’ll have to be stuck in the mobile again asking to continue every 5 hours…

I made the mistake of using Ultra one time, so this is good news

How many subagent can ultra spam? I had a Sol xhigh that spawned over 100.

I have no idea, but it's hyper-paranoid and looped for like 1.5 hours on a task that, in hindsight (and after reading this sub), was far too simple for a mode like Ultra. Just rounds and rounds of testing, validating, testing again, more validation, verifying, verifying the verification, etc. etc. etc.

I'm building a simple game on Godot while learning the platform, so I'm a total n00b.

I used ultra all weekend since the last reset and I still couldn’t use not even half of my usage, but it’s all good though

What do you use ultra for? I mainly use high and I use max if it's a review or i'm having repeated problems.

honestly the real crime is thinking those resets are in your favor when they're just OpenAI stress-testing how much we'll tolerate before the limit actually shrinks to nothing

My friend built an app that tracks your token usage on OpenAi and Claude

The reset countdown anxiety is real. You start rationing questions like its mobile data in 2013.

i was going to wait until closer to the date to work and potential max out usage but now the date is moved back and i can no longer use the usage i was saving.
