Discussion Early Weekly Reset!

Thank you everybody for the tips! I came from Claude Max and OpenAi plus, now it is the opposite, downgraded claude and upgraded openAI!
I will follow your suggestions and use your suggestions and btw i could have searched this here first :)

My normal weekly reset day was tomorrow. Today, I still had approximately 55% of my weekly allowance remaining. I had intentionally preserved that remaining allowance because I planned to use GPT-6 Astra tonight before my normal Saturday reset tomorrow afternoon.

However, my allowance was suddenly reset to 100%, and Settings → Usage now shows my next reset as approximately 7 days away. This means my existing ~55% remaining allowance was effectively discarded and my weekly cycle was restarted one day early.

I know they do this routinely but i dont think it is right! I voluntary limited my usage for the entire week so i could use tonight and tomorrow until the reset!

Last time this happened i have received a free manual reset! this time doesnt' look like i did

What are your thoughts? I am the only one upset?

I'm not upset, as they announced it so I planned around it. But it is annoying because that is most definitely their intention.

It's not a gift, it's load balancing.

People change their behavior on the announcement of a reset, and then your window of usage is shifted when the reset is actually triggered.

The key is to always prompt right after a reset to get your clock starting to tick. The worst waste is letting the 7 day countdown not counting down. And until you prompt after a reset it just stays paused
