I feel strongly that nerfing of Opus 5.5 is done via usage counting - the first week I got an amazing pile of work done and was raving about its performance/price ratio - basically I wasn't able to deplete its 5h allowance (on high) if I was writing and checking the assignment, it took 6 days of sustained effort to bring the usage close to zero.
This week I have done considerably less work, and 2 days in, 54 % of Max usage is gone.
I hate this bait and switch cycle, and seeing how OpenAI cut its limits (5x raise from 0.1x api price to 0.5x api price for their max plan, so new $500 plan gets less usage than previous $200 plan) I think this will get worse still.
