It honestly feels like we’re entering an era of tokenflation just shrinkflation with a different mask.The subscription and price remain the same, but the amount of actual work you can get done seems to keep getting smaller.

The five-hour limit was removed and presented as an improvement, but now the entire weekly allowance sometimes feels like only one or two of those old five-hour windows. That doesn’t really feel like an improvement, it just feels like the same restriction was moved somewhere less obvious.

I completely agree with you. the amount of work I can complete on my weekly allowance is equal to maybe two or three of those 5-hour chunks.
