User criticizes OpenAI for halving subscription usage at the same price

I'm honestly in shock at what OpenAI did today. They cut usage on subscriptions by 50%. No real warning. One post on X the morning before DevDay and that was it. Same price, half the usage. I've been paying for multiple Pro accounts for months because Astra was worth it. Now I get half of what I had yesterday. Meanwhile Anthropic just shipped Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5 back to back, cheaper and with limits that actually let me work all day. This is how you lose your best customers.
