"During this period, the company also reset users’ weekly usage early on several occasions to celebrate milestones"
Such a casino vibe.
Both OpenAI and Anthropic use a lot of casino/slot machine mechanics in their TUIs and Apps so likely intentional.
It's the gacha of software development.
>> During this period, the company also reset users’ weekly usage early on several occasions to celebrate milestones, including adding another million active users across the two (now unified) platforms.

No no no! It means we're all in it together! Feel the parasocial vibes!
also it sounds like users benefit but they mostly don't. resets mostly benefitted OpenAI and only gave users few additionals hours.
I think it's great that oai resets users limits. What is this complaint?
Free drinks? Keep customers happy? Reward your heaviest users? Casino vibes
They now give out resets you can choose when to use, but with a "best before" date. With Anthropic you don't even know what model you'll have access to next week. A few months ago I wanted to try a subscription to Gemini but I couldn't figure out how to give them money. The other one thinks he's Mecha Hitler.
To an extent I get it, this is not like a normal SaaS where you just buy seats, but their commercial offerings, especially B2C ones, feel like complete amateur hour. If they were selling literally anything else I'd have ran for the hills a long time ago.
The vibe was people goofing around on Twitter. There's one guy making the call and the reset is kind of a meme.
Yeah. I switched to codex 1.5 months ago to try it, and for some reason the "vibe" kept me here. It was really the unpredictable rewards from the constant resets though. I am not convinced it's a better product or that sol + any combination of luna is better than Claude.
I'll be switching back.
Hey I work in the casino industry and we have regulations!
