Dev calls OpenAI's latest launch the most confusing ever: halved limits, credit apologies

Developer alexcovoeth detailed why OpenAI's recent launch left him baffled:
- The privacy-controversial DOTS product shipping
- GPT Pro chat limits in Chat cut from 200 to 100
- Confusing model naming (he mockingly calls it "Sol-6.1-EXTRA-NOT-FAST")
- A 50% off Pro subscription and 62K compensatory credits — "because we know this is a disaster so you can burn them while we fix this mess"
A longtime GPT loyalist, he calls it "the most confusing launch ever" and hopes something good is happening behind the scenes.
