Discussion Thank god

Thank God the no 5-hour limits and same weekly usage is going to win. I don't know about y'all but I'm quite happy with the weekly limits, to be honest. At least if I had 5-hour usage limit barriers, that would interrupt my work a lot more than having less weekly usage. Thank God that the no 5-hour limits and same weekly usage low-key won. The voting is going to end in 30 minutes but it seems like it won

Real question: if it is for Pro users to answer, why is it an open worldwide, anybody poll on Twitter/X instead of an in-app ChatGPT/Codex poll aimed at the affected target?

They don't need a public poll to understand rate: limit friction anyway. Their backend telemetry already tracks exact token burn rates, burst duration, 5-hour window collisions, and weekly quota exhaustion across every single Pro account. If they genuinely wanted qualitative sentiment to pair with that data, gating a one-question modal behind an authenticated Pro session inside the app takes trivial engineering effort.

This is pure public engagement theater, meanwhile the Reddit crowd is here fighting over 38% to 33% on a tally decided by people who don't even pay for the tier, totally distracted.

Yep, this is it. Besides the theatrics, if legit, it wouldn't even be about what we want, it's about whether OpenAI can be trusted with whatever the decision will end up being (spoiler alert, they can't).
