They also halved API prices with GPT-6, so I think it’ll net out pretty close for sol and Luna, but much less to be used for Astra.

I wonder how legal it is to change usage during a running subscription.

Legality is no concern for these magical companies. Money is of no object, laws do not apply, the return on investment must not be spoken.

Factually wrong. I mean how can 20x be about 5h usage when 5h limits were not part of the Pro plan for a long time.

You're wrong for OpenAI, their 5x/20x always referred to the full weekly limit, and my (and others') multiple tests confirmed it empirically multiple times by calculating API-equivalent prices, especially when going from one subscription tier to another.

You're right for Anthropic though, their 5x/20x is mostly for 5h limit.

Hard to believe when all they've done so far is raise prices and reduce usage quotas.

The 20x plan right now lasts about 1 day and they're reducing it to half a day of usage?

I agree with them. Circa 2035, when OpenAI will at best be a Microsoft division, acquired for $20bn.

"it will net out at half the dollar in API spend compared to the old Pro $200 plan"

So effectively 50% less usage.

we guarantee that over time you always get more work done and with an increasing level of quality

or your money back?

Codex GPT-6 models are so congested and slow at the moment it is difficult to get through the current 20x plan anyway.

Well, this is upsetting. I was already maxing out two $200 subscriptions days before the weekly limit. I wonder how bad it'll be after this change.

So, they’re finally trying to end the subscription subsidies. Presumably ahead of Q4 so that their financials will look better going into next year for the IPO.
