User says Opus 5 limits are so bad they’d pay 3x more to switch to Chinese models
MarcJSchmidt · x · 2026-07-24
The poster says that if Opus 5 keeps the same arbitrary session limits and restrictions, they will switch to Chinese models even at 3x the cost.
The complaint is not about raw capability, but about product policy: session caps and abrupt stopping of work are framed as an unacceptable business strategy. The writer adds that even OpenAI is starting to feel friendlier by comparison, which underlines how much model UX and usage limits shape loyalty.
