IPO potential impacts

It was inevitable that OpenAI was going to ipo just a matter of when. I know this is a codex sub so I see this going two different ways.
The first way is they super buff limits such to maximize user onboarding right before their ipo. It seemed they were doing this for a while perhaps for funding or whatever but the ipo has yet to come and limits seem to be on a downward trend.
The second and unfortunate for us yet more likely in my opinion is limits just keep going down. I think a good majority of us on this sub knew the limits on OpenAI were generally unsustainably generous (eg unprofitable probably even now with reduced limits. I don't know if it was for onboarding users or just to keep gather funding and plugging along until Jarvis would pop out and solve all their profitless issues but clearly it hasn't been working hence our drop in usage limits. I hypothesize that they want the bottom line to not or be as far from the red as possible before ipo so people yknow believe in the company and invest in it.
Those are just my two cents however. Thoughts?
