koltregaskes · x · 2026-07-12

User feedback indicates that the usage consumption for GPT-5.6 Sol is noticeably higher: using only the Extra High setting, just a few messages triggered the 5-hour limit. The user mentioned having a Pro x5 subscription, which typically allows for more messages.

The key takeaway from the post is that the new model/mode may consume quotas more quickly, and users might need to downgrade their settings to Medium or High in subsequent sessions to continue using it.
