Truly makes no sense. I pay for the $200/month plan and end up using about $3k/month worth of API costs. I imagine that the only reason they haven’t cut me off is because my habits serve as good training data for them.

Guess they’ve decided to move in the direction of allocating compute primarily to power users and enterprise.

But power users are not a sticky customer base. I just bought the ChatGPT Pro plan and would immediately switch over if the model performance is better and/or I get more compute.

Or the API is overpriced. The concept of charging per tokens does not map well to the actual costs an AI company has.
