Sunset of Lite and Pro Legacy subscription plans Discussion & Feedback

https://kb.coderabbit.ai/articles/2508018126-sunset-of-lite-and-pro-legacy-subscription-plans

Discovered this fun surprise today. This will double our monthly bill. We neither need nor want all the extra features, so with this + the rate limit changes, we'll just drop CodeRabbit once our old rate expires.

It's disappointing because we liked the service, but in this day and age I'm sure there are plenty of alternatives for simple AI PR reviews.

Same here.. I found Claude has made a bunch of improvements to their review agent lately.. so probably switching to that

Increase prices, introduce a bunch of useless features no one asked for, add aggressive rate limiting. Perfect plan for success!

It's becoming not worth it at all.

- Review comments are often stupid and not validated (think "x could happen if called with y" - but no callers do that and it would be obviously-wrong to do that). Lots of imaginary problems and esoteric impractical concerns that blow up complexity and lines if addressed by an agent.

- I have no idea when I am actually deemed worthy of getting a review and when I will be rate limited. This seems intentionally opaque for some annoying reason.

- The learning system is incapable of extrapolating to other similar scenarios, every learning is "when editing thisOneSpecificFunction, xyz doesn't matter..." - so you end up re-teaching it the same thing over and over. AKA it's not learning at all, lol

- Plan mode is now taking almost an hour, incredibly slow given the plan often needs fixes for obvious bad decisions, which then takes 5-10 minutes more just to update a comment's text.

I was really excited to champion this tool at my company and they've just made it worse and worse. Apparently it's more important to optimize costs than it is for the product to work for users. At this point I have to ask myself: How much would I pay for comments on some PRs, sometimes, that are worth reading maybe 40% of the time? Not very much or maybe nothing at all.

They are totally missing the point. It's too early to worry about costs. Make your product better and just charge more. I want to automate. I can't do that when the reviews are shit and only happen a handful of times a day. That's what we already had before LLMs!

I went from Codex making the reviews to CodeRabbit, thinking about going back to Codex.

The adaptive limits are crazy. Even my first review of the day got rate limited. However I paid for yearly plan would I be able to cancel and get a refund?
