   Am I just out of touch with our times if I think hand-wavey usage limits on a 500$ subscription is crazy?

      Im surprised some countries dont have consumer protection laws that would force them to be more explicit/accurate

         How would that work? It's not simple to set a price, when you have a fixed asset. Seems more complicated to set price on a product (ChatGPT), where the product is just a shell for something else entirely (the model), that changes by the month.

            Very easily, they do it for their API. You just set a limit in tokens.

               On what tokens? The ones of today's model, or tomorrow's?

               The API makes it simple, yes. They make you pay per token per model. A new model has different prices. Not being able to do that is what makes it not so very simple.

                  Are you serious? If you used 10$ of your subscription until 10th of month and then prices changed, well, the rest of your subscription uses new prices, that's basic math.
