Is this new? I'm on the Plus plan and just a few days ago carried on a conversation for around 45 minutes while on a walk with my dog.
Agreed though, the new voice (at least for Sol) accent sounds significantly degraded particularly when conversing in Chinese.
Apparently it's 6 months old [1]. You might be using the standard voice mode (the advanced one has just 1 voice IIUC).

Thanks. OpenAI's docs are frustratingly vague about the whole thing. It seems (assuming the 15 minute hard limit holds true) that I must have been conversing with advanced mode for 15 minutes since Advanced is the default for Plus subscribers on the mobile app, and then it must have possibly handed it off to the standard voice mode after that.

No advanced voice mode has multiple voices
You're right.
