Upgrading to Business seems like an irreversible trap (Zero limit increases + lost Finance module)

Has anyone else been completely burned by the "upgrade" from Pro to Business? I was hitting usage limits on Pro, so I upgraded to Business. It has been an absolute disaster, I see no benefit to upgrading and I want to warn anyone else thinking of doing the same.

1. There is ZERO improvement to usage limits. (unless I'm mssing something) The terrible compute throttling that drove me to upgrade hasn't improved at all. My 5-hour window capacity is still getting drained in literally 2 minutes. The models still frequently stop halfway through outputs, which continues to take down my entire connected pipeline (Codex, CodexCLI). There was absolutely no capacity benefit to upgrading.

2. The migration is irreversible and you lose features. To add insult to injury, merging my workspace to keep my data meant I permanently lost the Finance module, which isn't available on the Business tier. There was no clear warning about this. Because the merge is permanent and deletes your personal workspace, there is no way back.

I'm now paying more for a service with the exact same unusable throttling, I'm locked out of features I used to have, and support's only "solution" is for me to buy a second personal subscription just to get the Finance module back.

Do not upgrade to Business expecting better limits. Has anyone found a way to undo the merge with support, or at least found a workaround for the instant CLI compute drain?
