I hit 20 messages. What can I do now? (Quick and Dirty Guide)
So you're knee deep into your self insert fantasy and your about to finally slay the dragon or go on a date when the error message pop up. You're out of messages. What can you do?
There is no such thing as a free lunch: earn it, make it, or pay for it.

Cough up the 20USD to get SOJI
But...
- Crypto is scary
New things are scary. Yeah, crypto is a PITA and is confusing, but its the only option Chub's got left. Its been through patreon, kofi, multiple payment processors, paypal and this is just the world we live in now. See below on how to use crypto if your confused, or if you are adement on staying crypto free, check out OR.
- Does this mean chub is going to uncensor?
No, because lawsuits are expensive and get out of jail free cards don't work in real life.
- 20$ Is a lot...
Perhaps it is where you live. However, consider the flip side. The cost of the compute doesen't change between a user in argentinia and a user in the USA. The reason it is that high is because chub is not a big platform that can take advantage of scale discounts, and is offering something most others don't. Near unlimited use of a SOTA model without paying per token. Most membership based inference companies either are hosting smaller models or have outside funding. Not Chub.
- Okay, but I don't use ai enough to justify pissing away 20$ each month.
So, if you aren't a power user who can take advantage of a membership, I recomend you look at OR, with deepseek v4 pro. Your $10 gets you: ~13.6 million total tokens, depending on time of day and traffic. Use this preset if you don't have one.
Guidance :)
Option 1: Wait it out
Your quota will reset 24hr after your last message.
Option 2: External API
OR gives 50 total free messages a day, shared across all their free models. Topping up 10USD into the account increases the limit to 1000 total free messages/day, and the credit lasts for a year.
I'd use Deepseek.
Credit too, as well as more information here:
Option 3: Direct subscription
Step 1. Buy on CASHAPP/METAMASK Step 2. [Go to the Sub Site (select relevant cypto, I'd use USDT)](https://chub.ai/subscription) Step 3. Pay
Really. Thats it.
- In America, you can buy crypto through traditional finance apps like Cashapp. Alternatively, you can use a marketplace like binance to buy with, or buy it on a wallet like METAMASK.
If things aren't adding up, there is also a guide in the discord for how to pay with crypto
I have questions about the changes!

Please be patient and polite to community helpers, you are not the first or last frustrated user they will be talking to today.
P.S. I am not a guide or helper, I'm just some random user who has been seeing the chaos and put together everything I've found so far into this post.
