What's funny is I had personally settled on Anthropic as... the best of a bad situation, I guess? I found the tech useful even if I still deeply hate the industry and hype machine around it. Now though I can't get through a full discussion with Claude before the usage restrictions kick in, which has done a far better job getting me to kick the habit than anything else.
I still VERY occasionally use it (as I'm friggin able to anyway) but it's definitely nowhere near my usage previously. And I refuse to give them money, and besideswhich have no goddamn notion of whether it would even be worth it on the lowest paid tier.
Ah well. The free ride was fun but I knew it had a shelf life.
I pay the $20 sub for all of the Frontier models and just hop between them as performance changes
I will say that Codex high/x-high has consistently performed the best for me, but YMMV
See the thing is their storefront is so fucking vague. Right now I hit usage limits after about 4-6 messages during the day, depending on length. They say the low tier is 5x usage, so does that mean I can send 20-30 messages? Because that's not remotely worth $20 a month to me.
It used to be. But I consistently got to use more than that.
Funny thing (or I just imagined that), when I used ChatGPT for studying, it was quite generous about over usage. When I was just messing around, testing where the guardraila are or trying to get it to generate sexual prose about my siblings to send it to them for laughs, the limits were held much more strictly.
I remember when it went up from 25/3h to 50/3h. And I was like meh, because I've already used it over that limit multiple times.
