This really does not feel good.

Using 71% of my weekly allotment in one day shouldn't be possible when they are controlling my sessions as well. I'm getting 2 days of every week, in the month of my sub. It feels like fraud somehow, like I'm paying 20$ for a month, not 20$ for 8 days.

Like if they made the session maximums match the length of the month I'd get like one prompt a day or less it seems like, am I wrong about that math?

If a gym charged monthly but only let you enter for 30-minute blocks that reset every 5 hours, and your total monthly visits were capped at what most people do in a week, you'd call it misleading. Same structure here.

Like it kinda doesn't matter what I was doing is my point. Though for the record I was doing documents. Philosophy compare stuff and drafting.

I get the situation, and I don't know what to propose as an alternative. I think I want the weekly thing removed completely with the real limit baked into the 5 hour session windows. (but again would that be like 0.7 messages a session?) Or maybe some kind of 48 hour cycle at most? I don't know.

Being locked out for 5 days straight of the 7 days I paid for is just wrong somehow.

Edit: I'm not complaining about quantity, i'm complaining about format. Maybe give me my whole month up front? I don't know. It's just weird being locked out for 70% of the time i paid for when they are the ones that decided to bill by time. Like originally i didn't even wanna pay per month i wanted to prepay like i do with my phone but the way sub vs api works is completely different at the billing level. i want a hybrid maybe, or just no weekly limit but a monthly limit.

P.S. i'm not using this to code for money. My projects are all direct utility exploration or philosophy.
