Why the Pro usage change criticism looks excessive

Read as Markdown

Few points stand out, and the online criticism of this announcement appears excessive.

  • New limits apply to recent users. Longstanding subscribers retain x20 usage above the Plus plan.
  • Unlimited 5.6 Sol is a new feature in this $200 plan. Newer models demand more compute; a 2.5T parameter model would need more than a 2T model. Better models naturally provide less usage because the unit price is much higher.
  • O Bots, when activated in this plan, add $50–$100 in fixed cost. Muse and Grok bots already carry this cost. These Linux sandboxes extend the existing subscription.

Consider the perspective of a company at times; expecting more is not a fair or sustainable request.
