If they really cared about their image among their user base and wanted to undo a little bit of damage they've already done via various policies and decisions, keeping the limits and duration the same as before the ban (or slightly being more generous with them) would have been a really cheap way for them to do that.

I hope that their marketing and developer relations teams were already off yesterday, and that they will have better news for us today.

OpenAI is doing a much better job on this, offering generous usage limits to users at home. They also hand out usage resets for minor issues, that you can even apply at a time of your choosing.

It is expected to release next week, and the reason it has not been widely rolled out yet is the US administration, as far as I know.
