It is not a premium service, it simply is buying you more tokens. Those $200 gives you at least $400 in API cost tokens.

Don't confused price with "premium service". It was not that long ago that folks would be spending $100-200 on their cable service bundle. You are buying a subsidized product when using the plan and the more you spend the more tokens you get, has nothing to do with being a premium service.

The cheap plans are usually semi-unlimited the same way but not as powerful. This isn't simply a matter of buying more tokens.

Compared to OTA that's premium, but more relevantly if most cable buyers are getting a hypothetical $10 bundle then the $100 one is a premium bundle.
