Powerful models you can only use ~45 minutes a day? Users slam cost and usage caps

A reply suggests the model must be used sparingly—like Fable—mainly for auditing and planning. The exchange highlights how the strongest models' costs and quota limits are becoming the bottleneck, not their capability.
