Why does the new Pro plan have usage restrictions?

Describe the Bug

After enabling the new Pro plan, I received the following prompt: You’ve hit the rate limit for your Pro plan. Switchto the Auto model, upgrade to Ultra, or set abudget for requests over your rate limit.
“But isn’t the new plan unlimited usage, just with rate limits?”
