    This doesn't bode well, 500$ is the new 200$? Wild that they're doing this after Sonnet/Opus 5.5 releases.

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

      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.

      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.

      OpenAI only does monthly payments, so they can just keep the old usage for current subscribers for through their billing period.

      They're literally out there hacking other companies and even governments and they're getting ZERO legal fallout from it, so I don't think legality is something they care about.
