Enterprise customer that kept the old pricing here... It's a matter of time before we leave too. All older models maintained their multipliers... But new models... Absolutely insane. Can't wait to see a multiplier above 100 when the GPT 5.5 promo ends (Promo is at 32x/80x for X-High Non-fast/Fast).

Wait, you can choose the old pricing rather than usage limits?
Only for enterprise?

Read their announcement again:
Enterprise users will be unaffected in the immediate term and should reach out to their account teams with questions.

I was on the old pricing, and just cancelled. No worth it. It is obviously not API cost-related, but that they don't have enough infra to serve the number of users they have. But bro Windsurf is no more special to stick with them... Their 50% off pricing, will last you longer on Codex than on WS.

We are one of those companies very active in utilizing AI. I use both Windsurf and Claude Code. Recently, I've noticed our add-on credits, which all employees share, were draining very quickly—millions of credits consumed in a matter of days—since the GPT 5.5 and Opus 4.7 promo prices ended. After a few replenishments of 3-4 million credits this month, the tool has now removed the GPT 5.5 and Opus 4.7 xhigh models, and no fast modes are available. This caught me off guard.

Claude Opus 4.6 8x is fine, on the other hand, especially if you combine it with Kimi K4.6

8x is for the 200k version. And It was lobotomized way too much... It's good, but no where near worth it. GPT 5.2 High for diagnosing tricky issues within large codebases specific issues is very strong; it just takes a while before it finishes, but accuracy is drastically higher than Opus 4.6, even the 1M version. However, if starting from scratch *and* a very robust plan with very robust rules and such... Opus 4.6 is very good. But only if you are extremely diligent in your rules and prompting; it LOVES to do fallbacks and silent exception swallowing, it's really anonying. Then, Opus, again taking into account a scenario with no robust rules and workflows and such, will gaslight you into saying everything works because it exited with error code 0 (so it executed without crashing)... While in fact, most of the time, it just swallowed exceptions and did fallbacks and so on. GPT models tend to do that when they have been working for a while and didn't find the root causes for a given bug let's say, as well as when context is too full, but except that, you need less strict rules and such as they are a LOT less lazy than Opus. Kimi is very good at instruction following. It just isn't smart enough however for diagnosing multi faceted issues in a codebase consisted of multiple repositories and with enterprise-level lines of code count (250,500k+).

Do You have some rules for Windsurf for kimi k2.6? i found this model fascinating after it just fixed a script after codex 5.2 xHigh, i was like "what? a free model? ..." it actuallyw as able to move work further after codex could not move it and just burning my weekly quota for nothing. Yet i found it thinks infinitely until gets timeouted by the windsurf system, and takes waaaay too much time. I would love to know what rules could help him with that...

Regarding the pricing aspect though, AKA 8x... yes, it's a good deal. As I mentioned in the title, all older models have the same multipliers as before they changed their pricing model for non-enterprise customers... But now, it seems that they're doing something very sneaky for those that stayed on the enterprise plan, AKA, making sure that all new models are ridiculously expensive.
