    > Over time, we see prices go low enough that it makes sense for most to buy usage as needed

      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. It will happen circa 2035, when OpenAI will at best be a Microsoft division, acquired for $20bn.

        And renamed to Copilot

      For most work now it's already cheaper to buy tokens.. of DeepSeek v4.1 Flash from the official DeepSeek provider.

        Yeah $20 there lasts forever

      Yeah... on OpenRouter or equivalent

      Put differently, they're trying to kill subscriptions. The old bait and switch.
