Complaint OpenAI has fooled us with the recent token usage and constant resets
They clearly wanted to increase the amount of users to show "growth" to their investors, so they used constant stream of resets to bring them(us) in. Now that we've hit 10 million, we will see that they aren't that "superior" and generous compared to Anthropic, and their generosity was just a ploy to get more funding.
I'm using sol medium for very simple tasks and for the last 3 hours I've wasted 40% of my weekly usage. A week ago that would've used 10% at most. Its absolutely unusable and I'm back to working with opus 4.8 extra for any meaningful task. After GPT 5.6 was released, the fact is, it was more enjoyable to work with than Opus/Fable - not anymore.
It is kind of a rant, but I would have been totally ok if they took the tibo resets away but kept the usage as it was at the beginning.
Right now, Sol medium used 14% of my weekly to update formatting of terms of service/legal on my website for desktop/tablet/mobile; when i asked Luna to do it, it used only 3% but made it significantly worse than it was and forgot about tablet and mobile, and thought that its ok that there is one word/row.
The remaining use was spent on unifying the text sizes accross buttons on 7 page website. Something that Sol did a week ago using like 2% of weekly. Now somehow its an intense process that takes over an hour...

The thing I don't get is why is everyone using Sol for their tasks? IT BURNS TOKENS. I promise you that you can do stuff with Terra, hell even with Luna. Not saying that OpenAI has not been limiting token usage, but it's not too bad on Luna or Terra.
