User criticizes OpenAI over tightening, opaque usage limits
A complaint post says Codex limits are hit quickly, resets are confusing, Astra usage feels tight, Plus is starting to feel like the new free tier, Pro tier labels are reportedly disappearing, and a $500/month tier is rumored.
🚨 I think OpenAI is becoming less and less transparent. And at this point, it’s becoming impossible to ignore. Look at what users are dealing with: → Codex limits getting hit ridiculously fast → Reset headaches making it hard to plan serious work → Astra usage feeling increasingly brutal → Plus users feeling squeezed on usage -starting to feel like the new free tier → Pro pricing becoming less clear → 5x / 20x labels reportedly disappearing from the Pro UI → A $500/month tier reportedly coming while existing users are still asking for better limits And barely any clear explanation of why usage keeps getting tighter. This isn’t a usage problem anymore. It’s a fucking trust problem. If compute is the bottleneck, tell us. Stop making users guess what the hell is happening.
