alt Hacker NewsI’ve switched to a higher tier plan where I don’t hit limits and have found it less habit forming and more pleasant. I’m not going to hit the limit anyway, so there’s less reason to alter my behavior to match quotas.
The end result is that I’m considerably under quota every week, so I’m sure margins are comfortable for OpenAI. But it means my work doesn’t get interrupted, and I can use heavier models and fast mode liberally, because I’m not going to hit quota anyway, which means my sessions are shorter and more productive.
It’s hard to get anything “done done” when you get a quota limit, just as you’re getting into a good flow.

It's the opposite for me. The more money I pay, the more pressured I feel to squeeze out every last percent of usage out of the subscription. I can only know peace when the meter is at 0% remaining.
God help me if the OpenAI guys announce an incoming reset. If it's not going fast enough I'll just find new things for the AI to do, usually a massive parallel code review. They can always reset without any warning too, they did it after breaking the news this thread is about. Slept with an empty tank and woke up with a full tank. Wish my car worked this way.
At least I'm actually doing things instead of procrastinating.
