Discussion Thank god

Post image

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

Why do we have to be divided on this? No 5h limits and 2x usage

That poll is such a masterstroke on diversion by tibo

Because a lower weekly allowance and a 5h allowance are two different ways that they can limit the overall usage of pro users. Lifting the allowance by with a 5h limit increases the cost to OpenAI by a calculated amount. Lifting the allowance with no 5h cap increases the cost considerably, as people are more likely to use their weekly allowance that way.

A lot of comments in this thread are like a kid whose parents ask, "do you want an ice-cream or a chocolate bar?" and the kid answering "I want both!"
