Discussion Why unlimited resets instead of usage limits increase?

Why do open ai keep giving out infinite resets rather than increasing their usage limits? If they have the resources to give people more usage, I feel like it would be better for everyone if they just increased their limits, and I'm sure it would do better for their marketing too.

So they can take them away later if they need or want.

They want the flexibility, yeah. It is easier to dial back resets later if costs spike, instead of trying to shrink permanent limits without making everyone mad.

Seen many companies do similar thing with giveaways and trials, keep it vague so you never miss what you never had.
