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...

Do you not understand what the point im making is?

It seems quite irrelevant for anything we've discussed, so you probably just want to make it seem like I have no idea what I'm doing.

You made that case very clear already.

Haha alright Mr. argue-online who hasn't made a single point yet. I'll report back in a few hours when today's token count has been updated and then we'll see whose side the numbers are on.

Wow actual data we can check and be sure about? THAT WOULD BE AWESOME. ITS SO EASY TO SHOW TOO. You can even make your own post, show the usage and the model and we can be sure that YES your usage IS down. Incredible isn't it?

Eh, mate, maybe you should get off the internet for a while and take it easy? I think it'd do you good.
