    So 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.

      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.

        For less than the cost of this plan, you can get ChatGPT Pro 200, Claude Max 5x, and Kimi Code. At least that's what I'm doing, and the model diversity does help with adversarial code review loops.

          At this point, why even bother with subscriptions and other packaged products of these model providers anyways. It’s just an extra hassle of juggling between them plus it introduces additional data privacy concerns.

          Do things in a sustainable fashion and treat these models like the swappable commodity that they are by using them via abstraction layers. Bonus point is that you might be surprised how much more you can get for your money by intelligently optimizing specific model usage.

            If you actually consume all quota for every session subscriptions are VASTLY cheaper per token than API.
