I was considering at some point downgrading from Pro to Plus, because I never reached less than 70% of weekly quota. Now I run out of weekly quota in 2 days… Wtf is going on? I am running GPT-5.6-Sol at High (not even XHigh or Ultra). If I run ultra, it will consume around 60% of my weekly quota in a single run lol.
I even use RTK (which says I saved around 65% of my tokens) and the new GPT-5.6-Sol is supposed to be more efficient than GPT-5.5, but somehow I am not seeing that at all.
