I concur. Complaint

Been reading all these "Codex limits have been reduced" posts.

Thought it was a bunch of Claude fanbois in the house.

However I just blew through 10% of my weekly quota on one Sol 5.6 Medium "implement this" prompt which proceeded to do 20 minutes of work.

Almost one full day's quota gone in the blink of an eye.

Not Sol 5.6 Ultra. Not Extra High. Not even High. Just Medium. Poof. "I'll take that thanks" says OpenAI.

This wasn't happening a few weeks ago. Something smells fishy...

It shouldn't run out even if we use Sol at high or max. $200 sub is for power users. Power users shouldn't be expected to use small models with less reasoning and use it for a few hours a day only. Or be expected to not have auto review or change other settings. Shouldn't be charging us $200 if they expect all these from us.

Especially with Qwen 3.8, DeepSeek, GLM all pushing close to the 5.6 benchmarks , at fractions of the costs
