alt Hacker NewsSo many negative comments here. Among my circle, it’s not uncommon for people to have multiple $200 accounts. This seems like it would make things easier for them by letting them use one account instead of juggling two or more.
What they’re doing with billions of tokens every week, beats me. But these users absolutely do exist.

Can you please explain to me how the announcement is anything but a negative? Especially for such power users. That same 200$ plan now allows for half the usage it did when I subscribed a couple weeks ago. Tibo and co can dress this pig up however they want, it's still less usage than I bargained for.
>What they’re doing with billions of tokens every week, beats me.
What intrigues me more is how are they not done building whatever they were building? LLMs have been jaw-droppingly good for a good 6 months now.
The people spending thousands on LLM bills a month should've been done building significant chunks of Microsoft's or Google's software portfolio by now.
I guess what I mean is how is producing code still the limiting factor in whatever they're doing?
I produce a firehose of personal software and I still cannot max out a $20 plan.
Seems like can still do the same, but for multiple $500 because it awfully smells like ye olde $200 one.
No, now they need multiple $500 accounts. The usage allowance didn't go up significantly, just the price.
What do you mean? It's the fact that previously the 20x plan cost $200 (and is 10x now) and now 25x is $500.
If it was a 50x $500 plan it would be a different story.
