Hi everyone, I wanted to start a discussion to see if others are experiencing a drastic change in their Pro plan ($20/month) usage limits. I am genuinely confused and frustrated by the current consumption rate.
Here is the situation: I have hit my usage limit after only 116 interactions in this billing cycle. It took just 3 days to exhaust the entire month’s allowance.
I know the system has changed from the old strict “500 requests” model to a more complex calculation (likely usage-based), and I understand that premium models (like the latest Sonnet) consume more resources.
However, the math simply doesn’t add up:
-
The Benchmark: We used to have a benchmark of around 500 fast requests.
-
The Expectation: Even if we assume the new models are “heavier” and count for double the cost, a reasonable expectation would still be around 250 interactions.
-
The Reality: 116 requests. That is a massive drop from the previous standard.
I feel quite powerless seeing my quota drain this fast. 116 requests for a monthly Pro subscription feels incredibly low.
Is this the new normal? Has anyone else noticed their quota draining this quickly with similar usage? I’m trying to figure out if this is an anomaly with my account or if the pricing model has quietly become significantly more expensive for everyone.
