So I’m not allowed to use the $20 plan and max out its limits?

Max out on their terms, not yours.

Their bet is that most people will not fill up 100% of their weekly usage for 4 consecutive weeks of their monthly plan, because they are humans and the limits impede long running tasks during working hours.

You can max it out via first party clients only.

I dont like it either, but its not an unreasonable restriction.

  • I do believe it's unreasonable. The limits are the limits, you reach them there's no more free lunch after.

    Fix the limits, so the limits are reached at a rate that sustains their business.. ? obviously this WILL happen eventually when they need to pay for things.

    • "A rate that sustains their business" at the moment probably looks like API pricing or maybe even higher. That means subscriptions get significantly more expensive and/or limited, which is maybe where things are headed.
