Lost of trust
(This post has been deleted in "r/codex", where moderators seemingly try to smother critical postings.)
I've been a customer of ChatGPT since March 2023, paying 24$ for Plus ever since. That was a time when people barely knew the free version, and I already paid more for it than for my mobile contract. Three month ago I switched to the 5x Pro version, which is 120$ here. It was hard to convince my family, but I felt it was worth it. I am a big supporter of the potential of AI.
But recently, as can be seen in all subreddits related to Codex, the usage limit has been severely cut. I ask a few questions to "easy" debug some private code and I can see my limits disappearing in real-time. Month ago I was telling Codex - still on Plus!!! - to code scripts after scripts (for private fun) and while I did manage to get to the 5h limits on days of the heaviest programming, the weekly limit was never reached.
With this severe cut, my trust in OpenAI and the future of AI dropped dramatically. If OpenAI is unable to provide the tokens for Codex to run in a "normal" fashion - without even explaining it -, what are we to expect in the near future?
Is the integration of AI into the daily life a reliable future? Or will it collapse within the next month (actually at this stage, it already did) and anything invested into AI will just burst?
I hope at some point there will be an explanation from OpenAI for the severe cut. Because if not, its - IMHO - over. Noone will build a business on this fragile token availability. Noone will invest into that.
