OpenAI cuts Pro message limits in half from 200 to 100, buried in fine print at DevDay

Riley Ralmuto sharply criticizes OpenAI for opening DevDay with bad news: Pro message limits slashed from 200 to 100, with the detail hidden in nearly unreadable fine print and omitted from official tweets. He also calls out the wording trick — promising "more work done" instead of "more usage."
He adds a revenue angle: OpenAI's Q1 revenue was 60-70% consumer, dropping below 50% by August, while Anthropic stays at 20% consumer all year yet treats its users far better — suggesting OpenAI's consumer treatment directly correlates with its revenue mix.
