> Honestly, this entire OpenAI reset credit fiasco this past week

Huh, what's happened? I'm on the 20x plan and haven't noticed any fiasco, what went down exactly?

Nothing really, when model usage goes up they do a credit. They did two last week.

  • Isn't this a _good_ thing??

    • Yeah, but it also makes budgeting hard. Normally you'd want to budget about 20% per day to use your whole week up in time. But since they reset usage sporadically, it becomes optimal to burn tokens as fast as possible to be as low as possible when they reset.

      But since you don't know when resets are coming, it becomes kind of frustrating trying to game it out. One week they're resetting like crazy so you're trying to burn tokens as fast as possible. The next week they're not resetting at all so you have to adjust your workflow to be more conservative.
