A user posted about OpenAI's new $500 Pro500 plan, announcing they're cancelling and moving to Anthropic.
Complaints:
- Paying $500 mainly for 25x the usage limits of the $200 tier, paired with "inferior models", isn't worth it
- Recent releases feel like "more of the same" without major innovation
- The $200 plan's limits are also reportedly being cut in half, prompting the author to ask what others plan to do
