Is this not just about extra credit? So what's included in the subscription doesn't change - just extra credits are now token based instead of message based? (For Plus/Pro)

God every single title I read about AI on this site ends up being a straight up lie.

I think this might also impact how usage is calculated for subscription plans as well, not just overages (using tokens instead of messages for calculating usage). But the message from OpenAI seems vague.

I miss “BREAKING NEWS” as it is used at X /s

[raincole]

Yes.

> This format replaces average per-message estimates with a direct mapping between token usage and credits.

It's to replace the opaque, per-message calculation, not the subscription plan.

[liuliu]

It does feel like also impact the usage meter for subscription plans?

[raincole]

Usage meter has always been completely opaque anyway. They could (and probably did) shrink the limit whenever they like.

[mrtesthah]

Ostensibly this makes usage meter rate changes more transparent?

[liuliu]

It is a bit insidious that the price hike coincide with the end of 2x promotion, which makes the usage change a bit more obscure.

[HumanOstrich]

It's not a price hike, it's actually making it easier to understand relative usage for different models/features.

I have no idea what I’m getting for $200/mo at this point. Maybe that’s on me, idk.

Looks like it yes. I can't believe I have to scroll this far too find this comment.
